Assistants to be alert at all times & encourage participation from all players.

Cops & Robbers Game 2

Game 2 setup

Split group into 6 teams *4 teams work fine, 8 teams and have 2 separate pitches doing the same thing would work fine too.

As many football as possible in the cones in the middle

Cones areas for all teams to be based in

Game 2 walkthrough

Each team will be based in their separate areas

Coach to create fun team name for all teams

When the coach shouts 'go' players from each team 1 at a time will sprint towards the circle of footballs, perform a turn & dribble the ball back to their area

Players must high 5 the next teammate before they can set off

When all the balls have gone, count each teams footballs up to declare a winner

Repeat game x2/3 depending on time

Progression

After the final round, leave all footballs in each teams square

Now all players will become robbers again

1 at a time, players can run to any other team/s area & rob 1 football - same procedure turn & dribble

Players cannot tackle & cannot stop people taking from their area

When time is up, count up footballs again

Progression

2/3 players at a time

All players at a time

*Coach to be aware that although fun, when all players go they need to be spoken to about doing it safely
