Mud Monsters

Dribbling

Organization:

Players spread out inside the 20 x 16 yard area.

2 players are without a ball and become the "Mud Monsters."

Procedure:

Facilitator allows players to express themselves, while encouraging lots of touches. Remind the players to stay within the grid (Jungle). Mud Monsters attempt to tag the dribbling player. If a player is tagged, they pick up their ball and hold it above their head and stand with their legs apart, screaming "Help Help I'm stuck in the mud" Players who are still dribbling have to free a player by passing the ball through their legs and collect the ball on the opposite side and continue dribbling.

Emphasis: Close control, lots of touches, change of pace, change of direction. FUN!

Addtional Notes: If this seems too challenging ask the volunteer coaches to be mud monsters, or even have the childrens parents play along side them.
