Hungry Hippos (15 mins)

Hungry Hippos:

- 4 teams (each pugg goal is a hippo)
- Pile of soccer balls in center is the hippo food

- 1 player from each team runs out to center, performs a pull back, dribbles ball back to and passes to scores in their goal
- Next player goes and repeats process (must wait until their partner scores before next player can go)
- Team with the most soccer balls in their goal wins
Coaching points:
- Size of touch (smaller as you get closer to goal)
- Score with inside of foot for accuracy (if you shoot and miss, it takes up more time and you lose the race)
Progression:
- Introduce different turns (L-turns, Cruyff turn, etc...)
