Challenges

Mark out a 4×4 yard box. The box should be your age, in yards (big steps) away from the goal. So 7 yards away for 7 year olds.

Ask a partner to serve 10 passes to the box for you to do a first time finish. You score 5 points for scoring in the corners, 1 point for scoring in the middle. See how many points you cans core out of 10.
