Theme : Dribbling & Running With the Ball
Suggestions : (1) allow the players lots of touches on the ball (2) player small-sided games for more touches on the ball and more running (3) create more activities (multiple of the same) to eliminate long lines and allow more playing time.
We do not need fitness or running because all the activities include running and the fitness should be included in the activities.
