Players strengthen their ball-handling skills in this fun mash-up between soccer and bowling.

What You Need

• Soccer ball

• 10 clean 2-liter plastic bottles filled partway with water (to weigh them down)

Instructions

1. Divide your players -- four or more is best --into two teams.

2. Have each team make a line of five bottles each, with the two lines of bottles at least 30 feet apart. The bottles in each line should be about two feet from one another.

3. Teams dribble and pass the ball, trying to knock down their opponents' bottles, while guarding their own. There are no boundaries, so players can attack the bottles from any direction.

4. Every time a bottle gets knocked down, the ball changes possession (stealing is also permitted). The first team to knock down all of the other team's bottles wins.
