Add the cones to extend the length of the Activity Squares by 25 metres to make them rectangular.
Place two goalposts at either end of each Activity Square. The goals in the middle of the Grid are shared by two Activity Squares.
Divide the players in each of the Activity Squares into two teams and give one team bibs. This will create games which are roughly 6 vs 6.
There are no zones or positions.
Watch the video called “How to Run a Session”, which explains Mini Matches further.
Pick a player from each team to be the ‘rucks’ for the ‘ball-up’. Throw the ball in the air and the rucks will try to tap it to their team. Then away you go with your game.
Try using a round ball.
Use different methods of passing such as handballing only.
Play with uneven numbers such as 7 vs 5 to assist with ball movement.
Make sure every kid gets plenty of touches.
Have some parents act as goal umpires to retrieve the ball.
Encourage sharing the ball, passing to team mates and team play.
