Set up 20x20 grid with a 5x5 grid in the middle

20 balls in the middle of the 5x5 (nuts)

split players into even teams of 4. approx. 3-4 per team

OBJECTIVE

relay race one at a time in each group run towards the small middle grid

you can have them do a variety of physical literacy movements each round while they go towards the "nuts"

- hop on 1 foot, 2 footed hops, crab crawl, skip, bear crawl, sprint.

Once they reach the "nuts" have them preform a ball mastery skill to get a ball.

-drag back, sole roll, outside turn, inside turn, scissors (before they grab a ball)

Once they preform a skill have them dribble the ball back to their line

Most "nuts in the groups win.
