Activity (30 mins)

Organization:

1. 30x20 field

2. Goals (2)

3. Separate players into two teams

4. Multiple Balls

Instructions:

1. Each team begins with a goal keeper in goal. A player from Team 1 dribbles the ball down the field and shoots on goal. If a goal is scored, the team earns a point.

2. As soon as the player from Team 1 shoots the ball, two players from Team 2 step onto the field creating a 2v1. If Team 2 scores a goal they earn 1 point. If the player from Team 1 wins the ball and scores a goal, the team earns one point. If the ball goes out of play, no point is scored.

3. As soon as the ball is shot or goes out of play, a player from Team 1 steps onto the field with a ball creating a 2v2. Which ever team scores, earns a point for their team. If the ball is played out of bounds the game is over.

4. Each team has one minute to score a goal or no point is earned. Each rotation of players is a round. At the end of the round the goal keeper is switched and the players switch positions as well.
