Physical Literacy
Organization:
Players spread out inside the 3v3 Field
Procedure:
First have all the childrens parents surround the grid.
Bring the children in and have them choose an animal to be that has a tail.
Tell the children the pinnie will act as their "tail."
Tuck the "tail" into the back of their shorts.
Have the children run around the grid and have the facilitators attempt to pull out their "tails."
Progression: Volunteer coaches can be "it"; Parents can be "it";One player can be selected to be "it; All players can be "it"
Emphasis: Heads ups, keep running, have FUN!
Additional Notes: Be creative with the children. Encourage them by being loud and spirited! Ask your volunteer coaches to help the children out be giving them coaching tips such as running away from the facilitator and moving their hips.

Listening/ Physical Literacy
Organization:
Players placed in front of the coach facing the coach.
Procedure:
Players follow the coach with his/her movements when they say "Coach says" so for example the coach may say, "Coach says throw your ball up and catch it" Players have to follow the coaches’ command. If the coach says, "Throw your ball up and catch it" and any players do this they do 2 jumping jacks. Coaches can take this game in many different directions - Be creative.
You can choose to start with or without the ball, depending on their engagment level of the children on your field.
Variations: Balance, sit, stand, touch head/tummy/nose/ear, throw ball up, put ball down, spin around, hop up and down, etc.
Emphasis: FUN and listening
Addtional Notes: Encourage the volunteer coaches to participate with the players. This will be helpful to players so they can see what to do. Another possibility would be to have the coach be "Simon"

Mud Monsters
Dribbling
Organization:
Players spread out inside the 20 x 16 yard area.
2 players are without a ball and become the "Mud Monsters."
Procedure:
Facilitator allows players to express themselves, while encouraging lots of touches. Remind the players to stay within the grid (Jungle). Mud Monsters attempt to tag the dribbling player. If a player is tagged, they pick up their ball and hold it above their head and stand with their legs apart, screaming "Help Help I'm stuck in the mud" Players who are still dribbling have to free a player by passing the ball through their legs and collect the ball on the opposite side and continue dribbling.
Emphasis: Close control, lots of touches, change of pace, change of direction. FUN!
Addtional Notes: If this seems too challenging ask the volunteer coaches to be mud monsters, or even have the childrens parents play along side them.
