Description

Ball-free building into ball-work warm up and competitive pairs activity. 

Heavy focus: Social, Medium focus: Physical, Light focus: Technical

  • No ball, 1 player copies coach and other copies partner's interpretation of coach movements.
  • No ball, 1 player copies the other; encourage creative movements e.g. hops, bear crawls, lunges, broad jumps, carioca etc.
  • No ball, leading player tries to escape a side and complete a move (e.g. plank) before opponent gets to the same side 
  • Add a ball and complete former steps

Socially distanced warm-up with progression

a) Coach stands in view of many groups. 1 of the players in a pair copies the coach and the other player in a pair must copy their partner, like a message being shared. Vary movements, directions, use different physical literacy elements and ABCs

b) Paired players will take turns to copy each others' movements; again, encourage players to be creative with their movements

c) As with C, have 1 player lead the game of mirrors. If the leading player manages to run over a side line and complete a coach-assigned finishing task e.g. a plank, they will win a point.
