• All the other players are “fish” and they stand at the other side of the playing area.
• When the 2 sharks call out “FISHY FISHY CROSS MY OCEAN” all the fishy have to dribble to the opposite end of the playing area without losing their ball.
• If you are tagged, then you turn into a shark.
• The game ends when everyone has been turned into sharks.]]> 2021-09-14 15:32:13 UTC https://padlet.com/coley_ward/gcks/wish/1739887797 Red Light, Green Light coley_ward https://padlet.com/coley_ward/gcks/wish/1739900459 Once every kid is lined up on the starting line with their ball, the coach/parent/kid will yell “green light!” which indicates for kids to dribble to make it to the other side.

Kids will continue to dribble until “red light!” is yelled out. Once this is yelled out, it’s important each kid remains still.

If a kid continues to move after red light is said, that kid has to go back to the starting line.

Red light/green light also forces kids to control the ball because if a kid kicks a ball too far forward and red light is called, that kid isn’t going to be able to stop his ball in time and will have to go back to the starting line.

Ask them to dribble to the far line and back. The first team to finish wins. Mix it up: Have the kids dribble with the inside of their foot, the outside, their laces, or have them roll the ball with the souls of their feet.]]> 2021-09-14 15:41:07 UTC https://padlet.com/coley_ward/gcks/wish/1739918972 Hit the Coach coley_ward https://padlet.com/coley_ward/gcks/wish/1740715332 It's what it sounds like. The players dribble the ball and try to kick it at the coach. The coach avoids the balls. Kids tend to love this game. It's a good wrap-up activity after practice and before the game.]]> 2021-09-14 21:05:15 UTC https://padlet.com/coley_ward/gcks/wish/1740715332
