Objective: To improve shooting power, accuracy and decision-making.
Experience: Any.
Number of players: Whole squad.
Equipment required: As many balls as possible, cones to mark out the playing area and four flat cones to place the target balls on.
Set up: Use a square playing area that is about one and a half times as long as your players can comfortably kick the ball.
How to play: Choose two players to protect four targets (a ball on top of a cone). Spread the rest of your players outside the playing area. They should have a ball each.
The pair start by choosing where they want to put their targets within their playing area. On the shout of "GO", everyone else must stay outside the playing area and shoot the balls to try and knock off the targets. The pair in the middle are timed to see how long it takes for all their targets to be knocked off.
Tip: If you are playing outside, use a few helpers to return any stray balls.
If the pair have the targets close together, they have less running to do but the shooters don't have to be as accurate. If they place the targets far apart, the pair have more running to do but the shooters have to be more accurate...that's where the decision making comes in.
