Tic tac toe (10 mins)

Each team should have 4 players minimum

Set Up

Set up a tic-tac-toe grid with cones as shown in the diagram. About 10 yards away from the tic-tac-toe grid place two cones for players to line up at. Give the first four players in each line pennies that they can place on the tic tac to grid. The two lines need to have different color pennies to identify which group places them on the grid.

How It Works

On the ‘go’ signal, the first player in each line runs down to the tic-tac-toe grid and places their pennie on a cone. The first player then runs back and tags the next player in line who runs down to put their pennies in play. The objective is for one team to get three pennies in a row. Once a team has all four pennies in play, the players who run down must move one of their teams pennies that is already on the grid to a new location. The game goes on until one of the teams wins.

Coaching Points

This game emphasizes decision making. Before players get down to the grid, they should already have an idea in mind where they want to place their pennie.

Variation: Each player has a ball and must dribble to the grid and back.
