Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Fun Warm-Up Games

Screen 1

1.) Link Tag - Play with and without soccer balls. If the players that are linked together tag a single player, then that player becomes a link in the chain. Last player(s) remaining win.

2.) Hospital Tag - Play with and without soccer balls. Desginate 2-3 players as the taggers. Every player that is not a tagger is able to run free. Taggers try and tag the free players. The 1st time a free player gets tagged, they must hold the area of their body that they were tagged in. 2nd time a free player gets tagged, they hold the area in which they were tagged. The 3rd time a free player gets tagged, they must go to the hospital. Once a player goes into the hospital, they must perform specific exercises (10 jumping jacks, 10 toe taps, 3 push-ups, etc...) before they can come back into the field of play.

3.) Knock Out - Every player has a ball. The coach(es) start as the shark. Players dribble and try to avoid getting their balls taken and shot into a goal. If a player's ball is scored from a shark and/or if they dribble into a goal themselves, that player becomes a shark. The last player(s) with a ball are the winners. Variations - add shark repellants ( scissors, cruyff, any move). The shark repellant only works on the coaches. Meaning, if a player perfoms a shark repellant before the coach can get the ball, then the player has a 10 second period where they can't get their ball taken away.
