Yellow Jacket Tag (15 mins)

Organisation:

30/20 x 25 yard area

All players have a ball

Instructions

Players are Bees and dribble around the ‘clover patch’ with a ball each.

Coach begins the game by being “The Yellow jacket”. The Yellow jacket wants to steal the Bees honey, (Ball).

If Coach manages to ‘sting the bee’ (place their foot on top of their ball then that player or Bee becomes ‘frozen’ and needs to hold their ball above their head, open their legs and shout for help.

They can be released when another player dribbles up and passes their ball through their legs.

The two hardest working players become the Yellow jackets for the next game.

Coaching Points:

Keep the ball close to them with small touches

Head up to avoid the Yellow jacket

Side foot pass through the legs

Reinforce Inside/Outside turns.
