Can you kick a goal over the giant?
Instructions

STEP 1

On 'Go' adults throw the footy to one of their Auskickers, who catches it and handballs it back to the adult. The other Auskicker has a turn.

Give tips on marking, for example, "hug the ball to your chest".

STEP 2

Once a few handballs, kick for goal over the adults ("Giants")!

For younger Auskickers who might find it hard, they can walk or run around the Giant  before kicking at goal.

STEP 3

After a few minutes of goal kicking, give some tips and the Auskickers get free shots at goal!

Variations

VARIATION 1

Add a run-up or bounce before a kick for a goal.

You can also make it harder by having the Giants try and do a tiny bit of defending!

VARIATION 2

Experiment with different balls.
