Hey Coaches! It has been great seeing you interacting with the players. Remember, they always LOVE it when you join in and have fun with them! Always encourage them and help them out. Here are a few more ideas for this week.
Head, Shoulders, Knees and Ball
This is a simple but hopefully fun one! Start with ever player having a ball at their feet standing in a circle around you. As you call out a body part, they have to put that body part on the ball. For example, you say “ear” and they have to get down and put their ear on the ball.
As they get better at it, speed it up. Only give them a few seconds to touch the ball, then call out another one. To change it up even more, you can have them running around dribbling the ball and when you call out the body part they have to touch that body part to the ball.
Crocs and Swamps
Make a line of cones heading towards the net. Players need to pass to each other and not hit the crocs (cones) and then shoot on net. Have the kids work on passing around/past the crocs/cones and shooting on goal. Count how many times you score!
Don't Crash The Car
Red Light, Green Light made fun....check out all the variations! You may want to stick with the basics, but if you have a keen crew I would try some of the additions.

INDY 500
Create an oval-shaped "racetrack" with your cones.
Players start from “Pit Row”. Player starts by exiting the pits and dribbling the ball in a clockwise direction around the track. If the ball exits the track they must make 3 toe taps on the ball to restart the engine. Encourage players to make “Vroom! Vroom!” car sounds while driving!
Easier – run the track first with no balls.
Easier – players carry ball in hands and run around track
Harder – Switch directions and have drivers go counter-clockwise.
Harder – Change direction before completing circuit on coach’s command
