Smoke Free Soccer: Coaches Manual
GET ‘EM—9
Introduction
If your kids don’t use tobacco, they will really know how good it feels
to be in shape and in control. Showing those around them how fit they are
and getting others to join their team is the object of this game.
The Game
- Each player will need a ball.
- Player A is IT and starts with the ball. All the other balls are
around the sides of the gridded space (20 x 20 yards).
- Player A dribbles and tries to hit the other players with a pass below
the waist. When hit, the caught player gets a ball and joins Player A as
IT.
- Game is over when all players have been caught.
- Last player caught starts with the ball for the next game.
Coaching Points
- Encourage quick movements and sudden changes of direction to catch
players off guard.
- Encourage deceptive passing of ball: look one way, pass the other. Use
outside of foot.
- Free players should run, jump and use zig-zag movements to avoid
getting caught.
