Description

Theme: Turns

Duration: 45-minutes TOTS & 60-minutes TIMBITS 

Suggestions:

Player each game once without a ball. This will help players understand the game and focus on development different movements. Each activity will last a longer if you play once without a ball and few times with a ball.

Incorporate different skills into activities. For example is there an opportunity for players to do a pullback in the game (you can say they must do a pullback at that point). Or can players only use a certain part of their foot to turn (the outside or insider).
