On ‘Go!’ players standing back to back run around a marker on their goal line then attempt to run the football over their opponent's goal line to score a point. Play in groups of 2 to 4.
What to do:
• Pairs with a ball collect four marker cones to create their goal lines.
A ball is placed on a goal line at one end of the pitch.
Pairs start back to back in the middle of their pitch.
When the player facing the ball calls out ‘Go!’, both players run to opposite ends of their pitch and around a marker cone.
The player who was facing the ball collects it and attempts
to run with the ball over their opponent’s goal line to score a point.
• Players take turns facing the ball and calling ‘Go!’
Tips
• Ensure the defending player moves off the goal line and towards the player with the ball.
• No side lines means less stoppages. The players will naturally guide the ball back towards the goal lines.
Change it
• Have four players in each group so they compete in 1 v 1 games against others in their group.
• Progression — play combinations: 2 v 1 or 2 v 2, where the attacking team must complete one pass before they run the ball over the goal line.
Make goals bigger/smaller. Add in more attackers / defenders or both.
