Bumper cars (15 mins)

Organization:

20x30 area

1 ball per player

Instructions:

Players drive their bumper cars trying not to bump into another bumper car or not the barriers (dribble outside area).

Its a race to x amount of pedal pushes (pinky toe touches), but every time you 'bump' you lose x amount of pedal pushes.

Coaching Points:

Push pedal gently so dont go too fast and out of control (small pinky toe touches) if lots of bumper cars around, if find somewhere where no bumper cars are, can you speed up to get their (bigger touches)

Watch out for other bumper cars (look up, head up)

Can you steer out of their way if about to crash (changes of direction)

Progressions:

Add defenders (people without bumper cars) who hold pinnies, if they bump you out your car (touch your ball) they get to drive it and you have to bump someone else out their car

Tom and Jerry (15 mins)

Organization:

20x30 area

Players in pairs (Tom & Jerry)

1 ball per group

Instructions:

Tom chases Jerry with his mousetrap (ball)

When Jerry goes into his mousehole to hid (coach shouts 'he's in his mousehole'), both Tom and Jerry freeze position.

Jerry makes the mousehole by opening up his legs.

For Tom to catch Jerry (score a point) he must send the mousetrap through the mousehole (pass ball through legs).

Regardless of whether or not they pass it through, players change roles and repeat

Coaching Points:

Keep the mousetrap with you at all time (keep ball close)

Keep looking to see where Jerry runs (head up, observe target)

Try to get as close to Jerry as possible so when he goes into his mousehole it is easier to send the mousetrap in to catch him.

Regressions:

Players can take x amount of steps closer to the mousehouse if struggling to get closer enough to score
