- Cones
Two teams line up on opposite sides of the midfield line. Along each team's back line, 10 cones are set up.
Team A must defend its own cones while trying to knock over the opponents' cones by rolling balls towards them. No players are allowed to cross the midfield line and enter the opponent's half, but they can freely use their whole body to stop balls coming from the opponents.
The team that first knocks over all of the opponents' cones wins.
Variation
Set the cones on benches. Players then shoot the balls so that the cones fall off the bench. The team that first knocks down all of the opponent's cones wins.
- Tasks can be distributed according to participants' abilities:
- Those who move slower can be primarily responsible for defending their own cones or only play in 'attack' (throwing/shooting).
- You can also have designated ball retrievers for those who need extra support.
