How it's set up

Set up a 15 by 25 yard pitch divided which has two areas, the dribbling zone and the 4 finishing zones, each marked clearly with cones. Zone 1 (closest to goal) = 1 point, Zone 2 = 2 points, Zone 3 = 4 points, and Zone 4 (furthest back) = 6 points. One player from each team starts by dribbling through a short cone slalom before driving forward and choosing their shooting zone. Once they shoot, the next player goes. Players score based on the zone they shoot from — rewarding decision- making and finishing ability. After each round (each player goes once), teams tally their scores. Play 2–3 rounds per game. Rotate roles and replay.
