freeze tag (or 'stuck in the mud')
from
JoeSoccer |
an excellent
soccer coaching game for young children (or use it as a warm up for any
age group).
Easy to
explain, fun and fast moving, freeze tag (or 'stuck in
the mud') never fails.

| Playing
.. |
-
Select 1
player who is "it"
-
Mark off a
grid with cones 10 yards X 10 yards
-
Each of the
remaining players should be standing in the grid with a ball waiting
for the coaches whistle.
-
On the
coaches whistle, the player who is "it" tags "freezes" as many
players as possible
-
If a player
is tagged, he/she must pick the football up, hold it over their head
and spread their legs. They should be encouraged to shout 'help!' as
loud as possible.
-
To get
"unfrozen" another player (teammate) must dribble to and pass the
ball
through the spread legs of the "frozen player".
-
Once the
player is "unfrozen", he/she resumes dribbling in the grid.
-
If a player
dribbles the ball outside of the grid, that player is "frozen".
