Heads and fingers
The aim of this game is to work on the teams reaction time and ability to think outside of the box.
The team is spread out in a small but even circle. The coach stands in the middle with a touch ball. On his command he will yell out either head or fingers and depending on which one he yells out the player must do that. However, the two categories, head and fingers, is swapped around meaning that when the coach yells out fingers the player must head butt the ball or if they yell out head they must catch the ball. If a player doesn't do this correctly then they are eliminated. The coach will go around the circle until one person remains at the end.
