Purpose: A general team warm up that works on picking up and throwing in a competitive situation.

Description: The game is played with a tennis or cricket ball. Players are split into 2 teams with the aim of scoring by rolling the ball into the opposition’s goal (marked by cones 4m apart on a pitch 30-50m long).

Players are only allowed to run when they do not have the ball. The ball is passed by rolling it underarm along the ground. Passes must be caught cleanly as a misfield results in the ball being turned over to the opposition. The use of feet is not permitted.

The ball can be intercepted by the opposition but contact between players is not allowed.

2 passes must be completed before an attempt at goal is made.

Each team can nominate a goalkeeper who is permitted to continue after a misfield and use his feet to save the ball.

• With older players the field can be made larger and overarm throws/catching can be used.
• With younger players the misfield rule can be disregarded
• ‘Goal hanging’ can be prevented by insisting attackers are no closer to the goal than the last outfield defender.
