Clean up your garden
Two teams try to clear all the balls out of their half by passing them into the other half. Frantic, fun and full of kicking with purpose. Great for the youngest age groups.
Your assistant coach: turn this drill into a full session, plan the weeks around it and tell me how it went.
Set-up
- Split the area in half with a line of cones.
- Spread balls evenly across both halves; one team in each half.
Equipment: Lots of balls, cones
How it works
- Pass or kick balls into the other team's half.
- No crossing the line.
- When the coach shouts 'stop', the team with the fewest balls in their garden wins.
Coaching points
- Kick with the inside or laces, not the toe.
- Look for the balls nearest you.
- Stop the ball first if it's moving fast.

A quick sequence of skips, side-steps, high knees, backwards running and short sprints across lanes. Gets bodies ready to play and builds good movement habits.
See the drill โRob the nest
Teams race to dribble balls from the centre back to their nest, then steal from other nests. Chaotic, fun and full of dribbling, scanning and decision-making.
See the drill โBib tails tag
Everyone tucks a bib into their shorts as a tail and tries to grab others' tails while protecting their own. Agility, scanning and lots of laughs. Add a ball when they're ready.
See the drill โPairs passing on the move
Pairs pass to each other while moving around a busy area, avoiding other pairs. A ball-based warm-up that builds touch, scanning and communication from the first minute.
