Students dribble around in the open space, looking to find the coach and "bump" their car. Each time they bump their ball into the coaches ball, they get one point. If coach gets bumped they have to go to the repair shop on the side of the pitch for 10 seconds. Game is over if both coaches are in the garage at the same time
Students have to always look up, see where other players and the coaches are. Can they use both feet to dribble the ball, can they perform a turn if the coach moves in a different direction? Can be played as a group game (students vs coaches), or you can level up and split two teams, which team can get a coach first.
