The players will be split into small groups to avoid waiting round and players losing interest. They will start at the blue cone and weave through the white cones. They will then jump from hoop to hoop and finish with toe taps, tic tocks etc. Keep the kids flowing so they arent standing round and once they get it you can make it into a race.
- When they are weaving through the white cones, make sure they are bending their knees and changing direction at speed. - When they are jumping through the hoops, try to get them to keep their feet together. - Whatever the skill is with the soccer ball, ensure they are performing correctly.
