About this activity
Football Skills Circuit sets up three or four quick stations in a garden or park: dribble around cones, pass to a target, balance the ball, and shoot at a goal. Use the football skills scorecard printable to track attempts. Rotate every two minutes so waiting children stay involved and mixed abilities can join at their own pace.
