Training plan: 2021s, Shooting and Scoring

12 players · 2 coaches · cage · two groups of 6

0 to 10 3v3 as they arrive

As they arrive: 1v1, then 2v2, then 3v3, on two small pitches with a goal at each end.
A spare ball in from the side when one goes out. No throw-ins: dribble it in or pass it in.

20 m square, a pop-up goal on each side, a shooting line 4 to 6 m out, and a pile of discs by each goal: the fruit.
Pairs share a hoop outside the square: the bowl. Everyone dribbles a ball and shoots at any goal from outside its line.
Score, then take one disc from that goal's pile to your bowl. Yellow discs (bananas) only count if you scored with your other foot.
Play 2-minute rounds. Aim for one disc of every colour in your hoop.

Progress 1: Orange discs (oranges) only count from a first-time shot.
Progress 2: Add two defenders in bibs who try to win a ball. Swap them every minute.

For the 2021s: Shooting line 4 m, bananas any foot.

Usually for 8 to 12 children, so adjust it to fit.

20 by 15 m box with a 3 m no-go strip across the middle. One team per half, two pop-up goals on each end line, balls scattered.
On Cannons!, everyone strikes balls low along the ground into the other half. High balls do not count.
A ball that rolls into the other team's pop-up goal is a Boom! Shout it: that is 1 point.
Stay out of the no-go strip: a grown-up fetches balls that stop there. After 60 seconds shout Freeze! and count Booms.

For the 2021s: 15 m by 12 m, no counting, just Boom! shouts.

Usually for 8 to 12 children, so adjust it to fit.

Two or three touches every time: at least two, no more than three.
Theme rule: a goal from a rebound counts double.
Rules to call on if you need them: everyone over halfway to score, ball below head height.
