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.
