Focus Skill: Dribbling
*Don't forget to always demo as the kids don't always know the "lingo" and how you want to see it done!
Cues: lots of touches on the ball
little touches, keep the ball close
Set up: Grid
Warm up: frozen tag, if you get tagged pick up ball and stand with legs apart, freed if someone kicks ball between legs (can start with no balls and play regular frozen tag and then move to balls)
Play a small sided game for 5 minutes using 1 or 2 balls, encourage dribbling.
Superheros
Have all kids dribble (show them) around the grid and when you shout superman/woman, everyone dives on the ball (lie on ball so it's under chest) and puts arm up like superman/woman, when you shout batman, they put foot on ball and pretend to fly, when you shout Spiderman they put foot on ball and pretend to spin a web (spidyhands), when you shout Hulk, they pick up ball and squeeze it and roar like the hulk.
Shark/British Bull Dog
15 x 15 grid or so. Have players (fish/pirates) with balls on one end of the grid and coach (shark) in the middle, the players need to get to the other side of grid to get to the sunken ship/pirate ship or to safety. If the shark tags you before you reach the other side (then you become a shark/it too). First round play no balls just running, second round play that the players need to dribble the ball to the other side.
