Use a cone or plastic water bottle, a center marker and lines to shoot from - knock down the cone.

Scoring:

  1. Point for a touch, but the cone stays up.

  2. Two points for a knock down (reward is the shooter must pick it up again).

  3. Three points if you knock the cone in the air, it spins and comes back on its feet again (not so likely, but with some cones it can happen).

Progressions

  • With young players keep the distances short and maybe have 3 or 4 cones to shoot at (to increase the chances).

  • As the players get better/older, make the distance greater and reduce the size of the target, e.g., smaller cone or marker disc.

  • Have a rule you can only strike a moving ball (two touch rule) for a shot to count.

  • Have rounds where the non-dominate foot (usually the left) has to be used.

  • For teens and above make the distance greater and have a rule where all shots have to be driven, i.e., kicking with the laces.
