  • Divide the group into two teams.
  • Everyone has a ball.

  • Trainer makes choice in which part of the field to serve: left or right, short or deep.

  • Serving from two sides.
  • Chasing your ball and moving pawn.
  • Rejoin your own team.
Pawn movement:
  • If the server serves in the right part => the pawn moves to where the ball hit the ground. You make the goal area smaller.
  • If the server does not serve in the correct part => then the pawn moves 1 meter towards the center of the field. Target area bigger.
  • Exercise on time => for example 5 minutes.
  • Team that has the smallest goal area after 5 min wins!
Then again with other part of the field.
