Soccer players in formation.

• Next, the Coach will call out either Blue or Red.

• If the Coach calls Blue, the Blues must run their ball towards either goal and try to score past the Goalkeepers [Pic.2].  

Soccer players in formation.

• The other team (Reds), will leave their ball in the central zone and try to prevent the Blues from scoring.

• If any Reds win possession of the ball from their opponent, they should run the ball out of the area to finish the move.

• Once all the players have finished, count how many goals were scored.

• Rotate the Goalkeepers and return for the next round.

More Advanced:

• Players have limited time to finish (e.g. 6 seconds).

Less Advanced:

• No Goalkeepers.

Other possibilities:

• Defenders tag their opponents rather than tackle.

• Players run their ball over the end line to score (no goals).

• Players are paired up and can only challenge their partner.
