Soccer Bowling

Organization:

15x20 yard area

Instructions:

Each player start with own ball at the beginning of the activity. The objective for the players is to keep possession of their balls by dribbling around inside the area and avoid being bowled by the “Coach” who is trying to roll his/her soccer ball on the ground to touch their balls. The “Bowler” i.e. coach holds a ball in his/her hands chasing the players and tries to touch their balls with his/her ball by rolling it on the ground, once the Bowler touches a ball, they swap roles.

Coaching Points:

Keep your head up to avoid collision.

Be aware or where the Bowler is.

Close ball control.

Change of pace and direction.

Protect your ball.

Progressions:

- Coach selects two payers to become bowlers from the start.

- Once a player gets bowled, they become a bowler permanently and can’t swap roles. This will allow us to determine the last player standing.
