A fun flexibility drill, with an element of competition to get teams moving.
Players are on their hands and feet, with their stomachs facing the sky.
In two teams players race in this crab position around a cone and back - scurrying along as fast as possible!
Which team will get all their crabs around the cone and back first?
Variation:
If you have an indoor ball at hand why not play a quick game of crab football - it's a lot harder than it looks!
Players must try to score through by kicking the ball through their opponents goal.
Play first to two goals wins.

Tight markers win when attackers run in straight lines. Teach your players to dodge, change pace and time their drive so they get free when the ball is ready.
When everyone chases the ball, nobody is free. Teach your team to spread out, offer two options and clear space so the ball moves cleanly down court.
A shooter who can hold a strong position under the post is worth more than one who runs all over the circle. Here is how to coach body shape, a legal hold and a well-timed release, and how feeders make the most of it.
