Duration: 0:26 Players Required: 1+ Players

Objective

Encourages inside and outside foot use, change of direction and control under a light challenge.

Set Up

• Arrange cones in different colours (red/yellow/blue) in an area to represent landmines
• Position safe areas at the ends for progressions
• Assign each player a ball

Execution

1. Players begin with 3 lives and must dribble through the area, avoiding the landmines
2. Hitting a red cone costs 3 lives / Blue costs 2 lives / Yellow costs 1 life
3. Players must keep the ball close while navigating the area

Progressions

• If a player reaches safe area 1, they get an extra life. They can then turn out to safe area 2 for another life.
• Introduce flat markers (black in the animation), players can stop the ball on the flat marker and perform 5 toe taps for an extra life.

Coaching Points

• Awareness
