Competition: Players can play against their peers or against a parent or coach. Games should not be bigger than 3V3.

What Time is it Mr. Wolf? (10 mins)

Organization: Players ask "What time is it Mr. Wolf? Coaches/Wolf call out a number between 1-10. Players take that number of touches towards the wolf side of the field. Continue until players are close to the wolf. At a time chosen by the Wolf, the Wolf responds with "lunch time" and chases all the players back to the start line, trying to catch the players.

Objective: Players to dribble with close control or bigger touches depending how many touches the players can take.

Objective: Players dribble the ball with close control with varied speed. 

Competition: First player to the opposite side of the field wins.
