Aim Of The Game:
• First player to run their ball around the pole and score gets the point.
Explanation:
• Players will need a ball each and divided into two teams, positioned either side of the goal[Pic.1].
• When the Coach calls 'GO!', the first player from both teams will start running with the ball.
• The objective for both players is to run their ball around the pole and shoot for goal. The player that scores first is awarded the point[Pic.2].
• After both players have had a shot, they collect their ball and return to the end of their lines.
• The Coach keeps score, with the first team to five points the winner.
• Swap sides and repeat.
• Set challenges for the players by suggesting the use of left foot only on the left side and right foot only on the right side (or vice versa).
More Advanced:
• Add 3-4 cones which players need to dribble their ball through before getting around the pole.
Less Advanced:
• Bring the poles closer to the goal.
• Create wider goals by placing two pop-ups next to each other.
