Setup: Mark out islands on the pitch, and a central area of cones/obstacles. Procedure: Players keep their own score. Dribble the ball around the cones/obstacles until the coach calls a number. If the number is four, dribble your ball to an island and make a team of four. If there is already the set number of players on an island, dribble your ball to another island which has fewer than four people on it. Players who get on an island gain a point. First player(s) to get [10] points wins the game. Note: to avoid players cheating by remaining near to an island: create a central area of cones and hurdles that players must remain in/dribble around have islands of different colors/shapes. Say "red - 3" or "square - 2" etc. to specify which island(s) players can go to. Variations: (easier) Make more islands (easier) Shout higher numbers, giving more chances to get on an island (harder) Fewer islands (harder) Shout lower numbers (harder) Make small entrances onto islands for better players
This activity is aimed at beginners/young children and practices dribbling (moving with the ball). Tip: Ensure that the no. of circles x the called number = less than the total players, otherwise everyone wins a point. Feedback: Ball should be in contact with the flat (green) side of the stick Ball should be "at 2âoclock" position Run with your knees slightly bent and back straight Try to look ahead of the ball, not at your feet
