Cuckoo's Nest
On coach's call, 1 player per group runs to the middle and dribbles a ball back to their "base". Once they get back, they high 5 their team-mate who runs to the collect a ball. Game continues until all te balls have been collected. Teams then count to see how many soccer balls they have.
- You can then have the players 1 at a time, dribble the balls back to the middle.
Progression:
1. Players must perform a skill move in the middle (scissor). After all balls are gone frm the middle, the player can go to another teams base and steal the ball and take back to thiers...
2. Each team has 1 ball, 1 player per group dribbles the ball to the middle to collect a pinnie and takes it back to their group.
Add in progressions for older players (cones to dribble in and out of / passing etc)
