Colts Street Football Lift each other

At a glance

  • Two jumper goals in the park. Mix the ages into two fair teams, with a grown-up on each: 3v3 or bigger.
  • Grown-ups and older players walk and use their other foot. Pass to the youngest player so they get the shot.
  • If your child wants to join other children already playing, ask first and stay nearby.
  • Progress 1: Two touches at most, then pass or shoot.
  • Progress 2: Keep two touches, and a goal only counts once everyone on the team has touched the ball.

If it's not working: Spread the jumpers about 4 big steps apart for bigger goals.

Three things to say

  • Mix the ages so everyone gets the ball.

Colts habit

Lift each other: fair teams, everyone plays.

Both feet

Older players use their other foot.

Heads up

Look for the smallest player and pass to them.

Mixed ages. Older players play with younger ones here, so it runs with the club welfare officer's OK and an adult coach in charge. About young leaders.

Safety: An adult stays with and watches your child at all times. Stay away from roads, dogs and water. Check the grass for glass and dog mess.
