   1. Play 4v4 but instead of making goals for the teams to score in, create an end-zone at either end of the small field.
   2. A team can score a ‘touch-down’ (6 points) if they pass the ball to a team-mate standing in the end-zone.
      1. Extra Point = corner one touch
   3. Advance the game by not allowing any player to stand still in the end-zone, or then limit access to the zone to 3 seconds at a time for any player.
5. Get out of here  (http://www.regioniv.com/coaching/u9.htm)
   1. Two teams in a line stand either side of the coach (standing on the half way line with all the balls).
   2. Name them team France and team Brazil!
   3. Play 2v2 in a 15 x 20 area (or 3v3 in 20x30) grid to 2 yard goals, with the first 2 from each side coming out as soon as the coach puts a ball on the field.
   4. The coach is boss of the balls! Introduce penalty for encroaching!
   5. When a goal is scored or the ball goes out of play, the coach shouts ‘Get out of here!’ and the players have to go to the back of their line.
   6. As soon as the coach yells, he can put another ball on the field for the next two players from each team to play.
   7. The game is continuous till the coach has no balls left. He can then ask the players what they can do to rectify the situation…They will soon collect all the balls back!
