Instructions:
1. coach gives the players a number of touches to take (10, 20, 30...)
2. players dribble around the area and when they've taken the required number of touches they stop and put their hand up, silently.
3. everyone except the first player does ball matery (toe touches, or box touches)
4. if the first player wasn't silent then it goes to the next player.
Coaching Points:
keep your head up while dribbling to see where the other players are and find space.
look to use the pinky toe while dribbling to control the ball.
Progressions:
Progression- anytime a player's ball bumps into another everyone must start from 0 again.

2. when the coach yells "cross the river!" the players swim (dribble) across the river to the box across from them and stop the ball
3. first team with everyone across gets one point
4. first team to 5 points wins
Coaching Points:
1. dribble with your head up to see where the opposing team is dribbling.
2. keep the ball close with your short touches when near players, then longer when you have space in front of you.

Story/Description:
1.Players "drive their car" around the area set up as the coach calls out the different lights.
2. Players must respond th the lights properly (green- go, red- stop)
3. If polayers don't respond quickly enough their car "crashes" and they have to repair it with 10 toe touches.
Coaching Points:
1.Make sure you stay in control of your car by taking little touches to keep it close.
2.Watch out for other cars on the road by keeping your head up.
Developments:
Progresssion- start introducing new lights (dance, switch balls)
Progression- work with yellow light as well so that yellow light means short touches, green light is longer touches.
