Squares (U13-U15)

Setup

You will require: 9 cones / 1 ball, Set up a 2x2 meter square made up of 4 smaller 1x1 meter squares, one player has the ball, each player starts in their own 1x1 meter box

How it works

Play in 30 second rounds where the goal is to not have the ball in your box at the end of the 30 seconds, two touch max quick play passing to anyone else in the box, make sure players are on their toes and alert. The player with the ball in their box is the loser
