Cross Fire Without Balls
- Technical
- U4 to U6
- 9–15 players
- Passing
- Physical
Setup
You will require: 1 ball each / 3 sets of bibs / 16 cones, Use a rectangular area large enough for your group, Split group into 3 teams, 2 teams start on either side and the third starts at one end of the area, teams at the side will have 1 ball per player while the team at the end will have none
How it works
The players without the ball run across the field as the other two teams outside attempt to hit them player with passes made on the ground, Players cannot be hit above the knee, runners may stop or change direction but not backwards, Players are eliminated when they are hit and the round ends when all players on a team are gone, the team that lasts the longest wins
