Balance Tag (10 mins)

Balance Tag - 20 x 30 yard coned area.

Players spread out around area marked with cones. Coach explains that they are playing tag and the coach is "it". Coach must use a cone to tag players.

For players to be "safe" from being tagged they must freeze inside a colored ring. The rule is they can only stay in a ring for 5 seconds before having to move again. If you get tagged you must hop on one foot 5 times before rejoining the game. The coach will progress by asking the players to freeze in different positons, ultimately finishing with a stork stand (most challenging).

Add soccer ball for each player after the first round. You can also take away rings to make it harder for each round.

Ask questions like: Did anyone make it the whole time without getting tagged? Who got tagged only once? How many rings did you visit?

Do a few rounds with different locomotor skills, and then add that the players can only move if they are dribbling a soccer ball.
