Dribbling/ Running with the Ball
Organization:
Players spread out inside the 3v3 Field
Give each child a ball.
Procedure:
Explain to the players that they are all fish and the volunteer coaches are sharks. (Facilitator can also join in a be a shark). The players dribble their ball around the field while the "shark" attempts to tap the players soccer ball away. If they do so the player does a movement such as five toe taps and re-enters the game.
Progression: Parents can be sharks; Select one child to be the "shark"
Emphasis: Dribbling, heads up, shielding, being positive, and FUN!
Additional Notes: Good time to remind players that they must always try and kick the ball and not each others legs. Encourage the volunteer coaches to be sharks as well!
