Setup
Two teams of 3 compete in a 'court' comprising of two 15m deep x 25m wide boxes placed 20m apart. Place 1 football in each box. Mark as many courts as necessary for numbers using your available space.
Step 1
All teams members stand within their box, one player from each team has a football. The objective is for the RED team to kick the ball into the YELLOW team's box on-the-full, and have it hit the ground, or be dropped by YELLOW. The YELLOW team has the same objective.
Step 2
Kicks may be flat and low, but the distance must be perfect. Higher kicks will be easier to catch, so players must find the balance between speed and hangtime
Step 3
A point is awarded when:

The ball lands in the box untouched, on-the-full

The opposition team drop the ball
Step 4
Teams keep their own score, play for several minutes and stop and honour the winner. Optionally move 3's around to other courts to give them new opponents.
