🔥 Kick for Three
This game flips the scoreboard to encourage more kicking — helping players learn when and why to kick, not just how.

With bonus points for finding teammates or regathering, players start to scan, make decisions, and work together around the kick.

It also brings everyone into the play — supporting, staying onside, and chasing to regain possession.

Now it’s over to you — how will you adjust the rules to keep everyone involved and the game fun?

🔥 Chase the Space
This game helps players start to recognise where the space is — and build the confidence to attack it. It’s simple, engaging, and encourages quick decisions with the ball.
You’ll start to see players scanning, reacting, and backing themselves.

Now it’s over to you — how will you adjust it to keep your players challenged and enjoying it?

🔥 Chain Reaction
This activity puts both attack and defence under pressure. As defenders drop out after each tackle, new space appears — and it’s up to the attackers to recognise it and decide what to do.

It’s a great way to get your dummy half and first receiver scanning, thinking, and reacting to what’s in front of them.
At the same time, defenders need to talk, adjust, and work together to stay connected.

Now over to you — how will you shape it so your players stay engaged and keep learning?

Keep it engaging, keep it moving — and keep it fun.

Now over to you — how will you tweak it to suit your players and keep them challenged?

🎥 Get ’Em Offside
A fun way to bring your play the ball to life. This game encourages attacking teams to be ready, play the ball quickly and properly, and take advantage when the defence isn’t set.

It also challenges defenders to react, get back onside, and work together.

Now it’s over to you — how will you adjust it to keep your players engaged while practicing?

This activity gives kids a playful way to spot space and move into it with confidence — a big part of learning how to attack in footy. It’s light, it’s imaginative, and it keeps them active from the first whistle.
