Activity 2 – On a Ship- Every player has a ball- You are the captain of the boat

and the players are your sailors- Sailors have things they have

to do based upon what you say- “Swab the deck” – Players

have ball in hand and move their hands like the ball is a mop

- “Birds” – Players toss ball in the air and catch to scare the birds away

- “Water” – Players roll the ball on the ground

- “Shark” – Players collapse on the ball to save it and scream as loud as they can

- “Pirates” – Players squeeze their ball tight to their body and scream as loud as they can

Activity 3 – Drive Around Town- Every player needs to be on a ball- Players need to dribble around the

space like cars- Ask the players what kind of cars do

what and then have them dribble like that car

- Every time players get close to one another have them say “beep, beep”

- If players fail to change speeds and you can catch them say they need to get gas. To get gas they need to come see you and do some little activity

- Toe taps, cart wheel, etc.

- The more you can use your imagination with different types of roads or weather the more fun you can have

- Don’t be afraid to ask the players for different driving around town ideas

Activity 5 – Play- Split the players onto two teams- Play 3v3 with a few subs- Have a pile of balls ready to go that

you will send onto the field when it goes out of bounds

- Each time a ball goes out of bounds or a goal is scored yell “New Ball” and distribute a new ball on the field

- Can you get the ball to players that haven’t been involved

- Can you distribute the ball to challenge the team that needs challenging

- Players will clump together and chase the ball – that is normal

- Parents will want to help collect balls have them hold onto the balls and then collect them when you run out so players get a rest
