Bib Game 

Set Up

  • 15m by 15m circle
  • Square marked out by poles 30m by 30m

Explanation

  • Players are  given two bibs of the same colour.
  • Each player sticks two bibs into their shorts at the hip, ensuring the bibs are hanging out sufficient enough to grab.
  • Players are to move around the area looking to grab the bibs out from an opponent. A player can only remove one bib at a time.
  • Once a player loses both bibs they now have to collect a ball and dribble around the nearest pole and back to the area.
  • Once a player does their dribble they put their bibs back in a re-join the game.


This drill explores player agility, coordination, and mobility in tight spaces.

Players automatically look for space to avoid having their bibs removed.
