Dribbling Relay (15 mins)

Go back to the warm up cones, and now the kids do them with a stick and ball

1) dribble around each cone (make sure they flip their stick to use the flat side!)

2) spin around the cone circle

3) dribble up to the blue, pull left, run up to the blue, pull right

4) dribble around the top cone and dribble back to the end of your line

Let the kids practice at first, the next kid in line can go once the person in front starts the shuffles. After they have practiced a couple times, make it into a relay race!
