Small Sided Activity - RACES!
Set-Up:
Place pairs of cones approximately 30 ft apart. Have players in groups of two or three stand behind the cones. One ball needed per line.
Progression:
When coach says 'go', players will dribble to the opposite cone, perform a change of direction move, yell the words 'ONE' and dribble back and leave the ball for the next player. Next player will go and do the same, yelling 'TWO' when they return, and so on and so on until they get to 'TEN'. When ten reps are completed, team will put foot on ball and raise their hand so coach will know they have finished. Give 3 points to the team that finishes first, 2 points to the second place team and 1 point to the third place team. Make sure players do not dribble until their teammate has crossed the returning cone line.
Play over and over using the same change of direction move until one team has 10 points.
PLAY THE ABOVE GAME USING THESE CHANGE OF DIRECTION MOVES:

Winner of each Change of Direction game can have the losing teams do: Push ups, sit ups, jumping jacks, etc
