HOW TO SET UP
Lay out the cones in a straight line, a couple of steps from the goal posts.
The Auskickers stand by cones in pairs.
An adult holding a footy stand half-way between their pair and the goals.
STEP 1
On 'Go' adults throw the footy to one of their Auskickers, who catches it and handballs it back to the adult. The other Auskicker has a turn.
Give tips on marking, for example, "hug the ball to your chest".
STEP 2
Once a few handballs, kick for goal over the adults ("Giants")!
For younger Auskickers who might find it hard, they can walk or run around the Giant before kicking at goal.
STEP 3
After a few minutes of goal kicking, give some tips and the Auskickers get free shots at goal!
VARIATION 1
Add a run-up or bounce before a kick for a goal.
You can also make it harder by having the Giants try and do a tiny bit of defending!
VARTIATION 2
Experiment with different balls.
Encourage everyone to have fun and keep practising their kicks so that they clear those pesky Giants... Even the short ones!
