Hunters (players with balls) stand in a line at one end of the playing area. The 'wolf' (player without a ball) stands at the other end. When the wolf isn't facing the hunters, they can dribble forward. But when the wolf turns around they must stop the ball and stay still. If the wolf spots them moving, they must take 3 steps back. The hunter who reaches the wolf's den first becomes the wolf for the next round. Progression: Add cones and/or spots to the playing area. Hunters must dribble around them to get to the wolf. If any player's ball touches an obstacle, they must go back 3 steps.
This game is for U8 or U10 beginners. It practices basic dribbling and stopping the ball.
