Instructions

HOW TO PLAY

STEP 1

Players kick the ball to each other around the triangle. After a while, switch direction and keep practising.

STEP 2

Once the player gets the hang of it, add the fourth cone to make a square.

A player without the ball runs to the vacant cone to receive the kick.

Then another players run to the new vacant cone to receive the next kick.

Set-Up

HOW TO SET UP

For everyone of three, place down three cones kicking distance apart to make a triangle.

Send an Auskicker to each cone, and give one the footy.

Keep a fourth cone up your sleeve, as you'll turn the triangle into a square later on.

 

 

 

Variations

VARIATION 1

Try having players practise 'pushing back of the mark' after they've caught the ball. That means stepping back a few metres from where they marked the ball before taking their kick.

VARIATION 2

Speed up the game by having players "play on" and kick quickly after they mark the ball.

VARIATION 3

Players can try using their opposite foot.
