Skill Game - End Zone (20 mins)

Organisation:

Create a grid with scoring zones on the long sides of the grid. This way the pitch shape is shorter but wider. 

How to Play:

Evenly split teams play a game. To score a goal, a player must run with the ball across the opponent's by-line and stop the ball in scoring zone. 

Coaching Tips:

Spread out; use the width of the field

We must have a centre forward and 1 wingers

Don't be afraid to take on opponents

CHANGEIT / Progressions:

To make it easier, you can make the pitch wider or add a neutral player who always plays with the team that has the ball. 

To make it harder, you can make the pitch narrower. 

Add pop-up goals towards the end of the match.
