ORGANISATION/ LAYOUT
1,2,3 or 4!

ORGANISATION/ EXPLANATION
THIS GAME CAN BE PLAYED IN DIFFERENT SIZE AREAS DEPENDING UPON THE ABILITY (SKILL LEVEL) AND

CONFIDENCE OF PUPILS. IT CAN ALSO BE PLAYED AS A HALF PITCH IDEA WITH ONE GOAL AS OPPOSED TO
TWO AS A REGRESSION.

FOR THIS LAYOUT YOU WILL NEED A SMALL SIZED PITCH AREA, WITH TWO ADJACENT GOALS (THE GOAL MAY
BE CREATED USING CONES ETC.).

PUPILS WILL NEED TO BE IN TEAMS OF FOUR/ FIVE IF POSSIBLE AND OF EITHER GROUPED SIMILAR ABILITIES

OR COMPLETELY AND FAIRLY MIXED. TEAMS SHOULD WEAR MATCHING COLOURED BIBS WHERE AVAILABLE.

IF A NON-DOER/ INJURED PUPIL IS ABLE, THEY CAN BECOME A PITCH REFEREE/ OVERSEER FOR THIS ACTIVITY.
EACH TEAM WITH STAND ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE-LINES FROM ONE ANOTHER. TEAMS SHOULD DECIDE
AMONGST THEMSELVES PLAYER NUMBERS OF 1-4/5. THEY MUST HAVE ONE PLAYER OF EACH NUMBER.

ONCE THE TEAMS ARE PREPARED THE OVERSEER WILL ROLL THE BALL OUT AND CALL A NUMBER. THE TWO

PLAYERS WITH THAT NUMBER WILL THEN RUN ONTO THE PITCH AND ATTACK THE BALL, AIMING TO SCORE
IN EITHER GOAL.

ONCE A SHOT ON GOAL HAS BEEN TAKEN THE BALL RETURNS TO THE OVERSEER AND THE PLAYERS RETURN
TO THE SIDE LINE, AWAITING THE NEXT NUMBER TO BE CALLED.

TO MAKE THE GAME MORE COMPETITIVE AND TO FOCUS ON FINISHING AS A TEAM, PAIRS OF NUMBER MAY
BE CALLED, SO THAT THEY CAN ASSIST ONE ANOTHER IN THE POTENTIAL SCORING PROCESS.
