End Zones

Servers throw in a ball to their team to start to play and practice trapping.

• Set Up

  • Small playing field with 2 endzones

• Equipment

  • Balls

  • Disc cones

  • Pinnies

• Objective

  To score more points than the opposing team.

• Directions

  1. Split the group into 2 teams.

  2. 2 players from each team are servers on either side of the field and are numbered 1-4.

  3. Everyone else is on the field, ready to play.

  4. Coach calls a number 1-4 and the server he calls has to throw the ball into their teammate to trap it out of the air.

  5. Once the ball is trapped, their team scores by dribbling the ball into the end zone.

  6. After a few rounds for each team, switch out the servers with players. Repeat.

• Variations

  • If you have plenty of space, you can start with multiple games of 2v2 or 3v3 so the players get more touches, then build it into a full game with everyone.

• Coaching Points

  • Remind servers to throw in the ball not kick in a ball for safety

  • Aim below the player's chest when throwing the ball
