How to play

  1. Mark three shooting channels with cones: left, center, and right.
  2. Each player starts with one ball or receives a pass into the active channel.
  3. A made goal from a channel clears that channel for the player.
  4. Players must clear all three channels to complete the triangle.
  5. Misses stay in the same channel until the player scores or the turn limit ends.
  6. Fastest clean triangle wins, or compare cleared channels after a short timer.

What counts?

A result counts when it matches the main rule: Finishing Triangle Race: clear left, center, and right shooting channels. Made goal clears the channel. Fastest clean triangle wins. Use this scoring agreement for close calls: fastest player to clear all three channels wins. Do not count attempts that break the setup, happen outside the agreed space, or depend on a call the group cannot agree on.

How to win

Quick mode: fastest player to clear all three channels wins. Timed mode: play a 15-30 min round and count the score when time expires. Group mode: teammates alternate channels and share one triangle route.

Variations

Make it easier

Move the channels closer, use bigger cone goals, or let each player skip one channel.

Make it harder

Require one-touch finishes or make the final channel weak-foot only.

Game mode setup

Use this as the main activity from Soccer Board. Play for points, bragging rights, or simple rotation first. STUD mode is optional and the activity works without it.

Why it works

The triangle gives shooters a visible route, so the group gets quick reps without standing around for a full drill.

Safety / fair play

Use a safe space, avoid hard contact or unsafe surfaces, adjust for age and skill, and agree on close calls before the round starts.
