Pinnie Tag (15 mins)

Activity Name: Piny Tag

Activity Description: Arrange players in the area each player with a ball. Give 3 or 4 players pinnies to hold in their hands. When the coach says go all players dribble around and if you are holding a piny you try to throw it and hit another player with it. If you get hit you pick the piny up and chase someone else. Play for a set time and at the end of that time the players holding pinnies do a fun punishment (i.e. donkey kicks, star jumps, Australian push-ups, sing a song)

Coaching Points:

Make sure you point out coaching points of dribbling.

Try to introduce different turns in the game. Encourage players to use these turns to get away from the players with the pinnies.

Remind the players that they need to keep the ball under control.
