Blue's Toy Box
Equipment-
-1 Soccer Ball per player
-Multiple toys
-Toy box/designated safe space
Setup- Gather toys, stuffed animals, or other objects to be spread out in the play space. You will also need to get a "toy box" whether that is a real toy box, bag, or a made up designated safe space.
Objective- Your athlete will be responsible to dribble their ball around the "toys" while picking them up and placing them one by one in the "toy box". The parent, guardian, or sibling are "Blue" and are responsible for grabbing the toys out of the toy box and putting them back out in the play area. Play till all the toys are picked up and in the toy box.Storyline- Blue the crazy Sporting dog made a mess and got all of his toys out of the toy box. You need to help pick up all of his toys and clean up the mess before Blue makes another mess. You need to pick up one toy at a time and take it to the toy box, but it only counts if you dribble your ball with you. Make sure to use your pinky toe touches to dribble your ball around the toys. You better be quick because Blue is going crazy and will make another mess!
Coaching Points- Praise the player for using their pinky toe to dribble the ball. Encourage the player to only take one toy at a time while dribbling. Compliment the player on how good they are doing with picking up the mess.
Progressions- Add more toys, Add more toy boxes, Add another Blue!
