Equipment:

- All players have a ball inside half of field or 20x20 yard grid.

Organization:

- Start with introducing a pull back - a move performed by using the bottom of your foot to stop the ball and pull it behind you (in one smooth motion), turn around and go the opposite direction.

- "Green light" - Players move randomly around grid while dribbling.

- "Yellow light" - They move slowly around with small touches.

- "Red light" - They use bottom of foot to stop ball (brake).

- "Super green" - Leave ball and sprint as fast as they can.

- "Reverse" - Do a pull back (drag back).

Shark Attack - 10 Minutes

Equipment:

- All players have ball inside half a field.

Organization:

- Players have ball and dribble around in the half of the field.

- Coach starts off as shark and tries to kick the ball out of the field as players try to keep possession.

- Once ball is kicked out players retrieve it and must do 5 pull backs before coming back in.

- One coach should help work with kids doing pull backs while other is shark.

- Start new game with a player as shark and make sure everyone has a chance to be the shark (quick games).

Fox and Farmers - 10-15 Minutes

Equipment:

- Every player with a ball (first time you play don't use balls).

- Half of players have a pinnie tucked into back of shorts making a tail (foxes) Other half with no tail are the farmers. 

Organization:

- Foxes dribble/run around trying to keep away from farmers.

- Farmers dribble/run after foxes and try to take tails by pulling pinnies out.

- Once pinnie is pulled the fox is now a farmer and game is played until there are no foxes left. Play again and make sure everyone gets to be in both groups. 

1 vs 1 time - 10 minutes

transition image

Equipment:

- Field split up into grids side ways across field 10 yds x width of field.

- Players split up into pairs with each group having 1 ball.

Organization:

- Players work in 1 vs 1 situations with the goal of dribbling the ball over the line at each end.

- Once they cross the goal line they leave the ball for the other person and turn to play defense.

- If defender wins the ball they instantly try to cross their line.

- Play for 1 minute and switch pairings up by either random switching or ladder where player who scored most move right and player with less points moves left.

Key Coaching Points:

- Remind them to use the moves and skills we've been working on.

- Play with the ball in front of you working to move forward.

- Smaller controlled touches trying to keep ball close to your feet.

Game Time - 30 minutes

Equipment:
