TAG- Dribbling with soccer ball (or start with
no soccer balls and progress to dribbling with soccer ball).
Setup- create a grid 20 yards X 40yards. Start
with one player in the middle holding a soccer ball under his/her
armpit (this person is "it". The rest of the players line up one
one end of the grid with a soccer ball at their feet.
The object of the game. ON THE COACHES WHISTLE,
players dribble from one end of the grid to the other with out being
tagged by "it". If a player is tagged they ALSO become "it". Dribblers
stop when they get to the other end of the grid. In the beginning
- it is 10 dribblers to one "tagger". The next time back it might
be three taggers to 7 dribblers. Eventually the taggers out number
the dribblers
COACHING POINTS - heads up,
check with the ball and then explode.
