Kindergarten Fall Soccer: Week 6 Dribbling Warm Up: Domes and Dishes

Fun Game: 1v1 to either goal

Fun Game: Cops and Robbers

Implementation The group are split into two team. One team (white) are dishes, the other (black) domes. The players have to run around turning their cones to their team name. Domes are cones the correct way up, dishes are cones upside down/incorrect way up. Count how many domes/dishes are after a couple of minutes for a winner.

Implementation 1v1 to either goal. One player passes the ball and follows as a defender.  The attacking player can score on either goal.  If the defending player wins the ball, change roles and try to score.

Implementation One or two players will be the cops. The cops try to steal the soccer player’s ball and dribble it to the jail (grey area). If the soccer players are in jail, they need to shout for help and get a high five from another player to escape from jail. Progression  Change the Cops each round.  Add a skill to become free from jail. For example 50 toe taps/foundations.

Progression  Change the movement around the grid: running, walking, jumping, skipping etc.
