THE SESSION:
This game starts without the ball and then progresses to with the ball,
- Two 5 yard zones on each end (the dog pound is the central area),
- 2 players start in the pound (no ball and must stay in the pound as dog catchers).
- All the bulldogs start in one end zone.
- On the dog catchers call of BULLDOGS!, all bulldogs must sneak through the dog pound without being
caught by the dog catchers.
- If the catcher steals your ball and kicks it out of the pound, you are a dog catcher.
PROGRESSION:
KEY POINTS:
Starting Without the Ball: Highlight the importance of movement and agility while without possession of the ball. Encourage players to be attentive and ready to react to the "BULLDOGS!" call.
Spatial Awareness: Teach players to navigate through the playing area without being caught, emphasizing sneaking and evading tactics to avoid the catchers.
Ball Possession Skills: When players progress to having the ball, focus on basic ball control techniques such as dribbling and keeping the ball close to avoid losing possession to the dog catchers.
Fair Play and Sportsmanship: Emphasize the importance of fair play and respect. Remind players to play with a positive attitude, whether they are a catcher or trying to avoid being caught.
Adaptability and Resilience: Encourage a positive attitude toward being caught. Emphasize that being a catcher is part of the game, and they can have fun playing either role.
Feedback and Encouragement: Offer positive reinforcement and constructive feedback. Praise efforts, good attempts at evasion, or successful catches to motivate and boost confidence.
Fun and Enjoyment: Above all, ensure the session remains enjoyable. Keep the atmosphere lively, fostering a love for the game while learning and having fun.
