Foxes and Chickens

Foxes and Chickens Warm Up

All players in the grid with a ball. Coach is the fox, trying to get the players chicken eggs (soccer balls). Players dribble around avoiding the coach. If coach gets close, players protect the egg by putting their foot on the ball. When coach moves away, players move again.

Progression:

Players now perform pull back away from the coach.
