Kick It (U5 - U6)

Comment:A simple, fun game for U-6.
Teaches:Dribbling, kicking & teaches the Coach how to be funny.
Setup:Each player has a ball
Drill/Game:Players stand shoulder-to-shoulder facing Coach who is about 5 steps away On "Go", the Coach runs slowly away while players dribble to chase him & try to hit him with the ball by shooting at him They get 1 point each time they hit him Recruit parents to help & split into 2 games or even 3, so it is less crowded Stay in a small area & have fun with this game Play for about 5 minutes
Note:Before starting, tell the players that if they hit you 5 times (total) you will make the sound of their favorite animal, like a dog or a cow, etc. When you are hit 5 times, stop & let them choose a sound. Then start all over. Try to stop about every 60 seconds. You can adjust by changing the number of required hits to 3 or 4
