minutes) – Work (35 minutes) – Play (8 minutes)
• Take attendance• Go thru names again – the better you know names the
better control you can have• Play to start once you have 8 players begin session• Take time to teach 11+ which will slow us down a bit
but it is important to show movements• Some groups you will need to provide the energy so be
prepared with a few silly things mixed in but get back to business ASAP

• 3v3 up to 5v5• 4 Goal game – Attack 2 and Defend 2
• Every player with a ball• Start by carrying ball then get it on the ground dribbling• Play Pacman – name 2-3 ghosts keep space tight and once touched
you become a ghost• Play short rounds • Give all players chance to start as ghosts
• Every player on the ball – break into two teams• Let players put gates (2 cones) out in the space you have created• Gates won’t be the same size which will provide a variety of
challenges• Have players keep track of gates they dribble thru – 1st keep score
individually then have teams get together and add scores• Challenge players with different ways to dribble thru gates• Show lunge, pull back, Matthews, and your favorite
