Make it easier

Use stationary passing before calling TRY, or one ball each with one assigned colour.

Level it up

Players must move into a new space after every pass.

30 pups

5–6 groups running at once, each with their own space and colour.

Stay safe & strong

No diving — score under control.

Early Years 3–5 / KS1 5–7

EY: Short simple passes in small groups; coach points to where the group scores. One ball per pair and one assigned colour with lots of space works well.

KS1: Encourage moving into space after every pass and let groups make the decision. Use two possible colours, support runners or a gentle defender.
