Ball Mastery:

  • 2/3 players are 'splatters' who have bibs in hand without a football. 
  • They aim to throw their bib at a player's football/if that happens the player has to take 10 touches before re-joining the game. 
  • Players aim to keep the ball away from splatters. 
  • Encourage change of pace, keeping ball close, use of skills and confidence on the ball. 

How many points can the splatters get in 1 minute? 

After 1 minute then change.

Island Hopping (10 mins)

Island Hopping- Every player with a ball

Set-Up - Each player starts the game by being assigned to an island. Players must dribble the ball from one island to another to score a point. On an island, they are safe from being tagged. If tagged off the island then players must do 10 touches on the ball before rejoining the game.  How many points did you score. 

Final round: If tagged then the players become a pirate and you'll play till there is one player left who wins the game. Can do this from start if desired. 

Coaching Points:

- Keep the ball in close control with head up

-Take chances to score points

-Try to dribble fast to get there

-Take bigger touches to gain speed to avoid a tag.
