Cone Pick Up Positioning Game - Football

15 mins

Method:

  • Split into 2 teams and give each team a colour of bibs to be (eg. Red & Blue)
  • Then place pairs of cones around the pitch (one cone in each pairn should red and one should be blue) in positions. You should have one more pair of cones than players on each team
  • When play starts, the aim of the game is for the ball carrier to pick up their teams cones. Only the person with the ball can pick up a cone.
  • Your team can score when they have picked up a set number of cones decided by the coach (it becomes VERY difficult when you get down to one or two cones)
  • Replace the cones after a goal
