COACHING POINTS / KEY CONCEPTS
Minnows need to dribble the ball to the end of the grid. The Shark needs to get the balls and shoot them into the goals. If a players ball is kicked into a goal, that player becomes a shark. If the shark misses the goal, the minnow gets to kep their ball. Minnows that make it to the other side, wait until the field is cleared. Once the coach says GO!, they may return to the other side. Coach may want to start as the first shark. If a shark is struggling to get players, help them out.
