So this session will be based on Harry Potter and will mainly be suitable for kids. So create a small pitch with cones for them to dribble. First game is a warm up so try and get the kids moving as much as possible. The coach will be shouting commands, if he shouts broomsticks the kids have to put the ball between there ankles with both hands out at the front and they have to jump 3 times pretending they`re flying a broomstick. Secondly if the coach shouts chasers they have to dribble as fast as they can using both feet and making sure they`re keeping there heads up. If the coach shouts goalkeeper they have to pick up the ball and throw it up in the air and catch it. Last but not least if the coach shouts a magic spell it can be anything like abracadabra or anything, it can be made up but once the coach says spell they have to do step overs.
