YOUNGER GROUPS- Ball Manipulation/Idividual Possession
Slipt area into 3 zones, palyers have to cross all 3 zones to score
Invasion Game
Place a tagger in each of the 3 zones with 2 taggers to cover middle zone. Score by travelling across all 3 zones safely. If a tagger catches you, hold a balance waiting for someone to free you to return back into the game
Individual Possession Practice
Same as above but use footballs, can you dribble through all 3 zones to score. Defenders can tag whilst dribbling with a ball OR play without a ball trying to steal a ball, if you get caught hold ball in your hands for someone to dribble through your legs to return back into the game
