Hungry Hippo Shuttles! 🎾🦛 Fun way to include acceleration into a competitive game against a partner. First player to get all their balls into the basket wins! https://t.co/zeZ00rruib

Next, a simple SSG to combine to attack. Start with 4v4 in the middle, progress with 1 defender and 1 attacker in each end zone:

💡 Idea of the week

And lastly: Funiño! Although not brand new, this fun-oriented format is apparently growing in Germany. Check out these slides here. Lots of interesting ideas!

The new German soccer: Games at U7 and U9 will be two- or three-a-side, with four goals and no GKs. At U11, teams will be up to 5-a-side, transitioning 9-a-side play at U13. All players will be guaranteed equal playing time. No keeping of score.
