Football/Soccer Session (Beginner): Golden Egg

Golden Egg

Physical Literacy

Organization:

Players are placed in pairs and are placed in a corner of the rectangle as above.

Procedure:

When the facilitator calls go one player (bird) from each team runs to the middle and picks up a ball (egg) with their hands. They run back to their area and place the egg in their nest. They then give their team mate a high 5 and then they go to collect an egg. Once all eggs have gone from the centre all players can then go and collect eggs from other nests. When the coach calls freeze, the birds with the most eggs win the game.

Progression: There is now a golden egg in the middle and the birds that end up with that egg score 5 additional points.

Progression 2: Players now use their feet and dribble the eggs back to their nests.

Additonal Notes: Have a parent/volunteer coach stand in each grid to assist the players. It will help facilitate which players go where and when.
