| Equipment
Cones, pinnies, 1 ball per player
Warm up
Link Tag – Create pairs of players
and have them link arms, break one of the pairs apart and give one of them
a penny, the player with the penny is it and will chase the other player
until they link up with one of the pairs, the player on the other side of
the link must now leave the link and run
Body
Punt & Catch – Get players in
pairs again, one ball per pair, one player punts the ball up in the air
and the other tries to catch it after it bounces once. They then trade
off. Add restrictions such as player must sit down and get back up before
catching the ball. Can they catch it without the bounce?
Keep your yard clean – Split team
into two groups setup a dividing line in the middle of the field. Every
player has a ball. On signal from coach the players kick their ball into
the other half of the field. The players keep kicking balls out of their
area until coach stops the game. Count up how many balls are on each side
of the grid.
Capture the cone – Now set some
boundries up with a 4 – 6 taller cones on each end line. Play 4v4 game
where players can get point for either shooting the ball across the line
or get extra point for knocking down a cone.
Application
Scrimmage – 15-20 mintues, two
20x30 yard grids, create small goals on either endline and allow the
players to play without any coaching
