Physical Literacy - Nuts and Squirrels (10 mins)

Set-Up:

As many tall cones as you will need (depending on the number of players you have) placed in a big circle. In the middle of the circle place as many discs as you have scattered like in the picture above.

Instruction:

Divide your group into lines of 2 or 3. They stand behind the tall cones. On coaches demand, the first player in line each runs as fast as they can to get 1 disc and bring it back to their cone. They place the disc on the tall cone and say go to the next person in line. Continue until there are no discs left. Whichever team has collected the most discs wins! Get players to take the discs off their cone, and scatter them back into the middle. Then you can play again.

Progressions:

1. To get to the discs you must run backwards.

2. To get to the discs you must hop on 1 foot, or two feet.

3. To get to the discs you must bear crawl.

4. To get the discs you must (high knees, butt kicks, karaoke, etc.)

5. They must dribble a ball to the disc, grab it and dribble back.

SSG - 3 Teams 1v1 (10 mins)

Set-Up

- Players are divided into 3 teams (increase to 4 teams if there are more than 9 players

- 3 Goals

- Balls with coach

Version 1

Number the players 1-4. 1 player at a time goes onto the field for each team when the coach calls their number. They play 1 vs 1 vs 1. When someone is scored on, that player is eliminated and the next player from that team comes onto the pitch. New player starts with the ball and play continues. When a whole team is eliminated, the last 2 teams play 1 vs 1 until only 1 team is left with any players.

Version 2

Each player on the color is given a number (try to make each colors best player #1, etc to make it fair. Coach calls out a number and those players play till there is a goal or the coach deems it has gone too long. Each team starts at 0. If you score, your team goes +1 and if your team is scored on your team goes -1. This way we will have some teams play together as it may be +3 to -1 to -2 and strategy comes into play. Mix it up by calling out 2 or 3 numbers at a time. (variation, if the goals are large, the remaining players not called out can be the goalie with no hands and arms interlocked. Can they work together to take some of the goal away? This added piece can be fun, especially with the younger ones)
