Objective:

• To set up fun relay activities that develop the skills of dribbling, turning and ball control.
• To develop speed dribbling over short distances.

Organization:

• Wherever possible work in teams of two (or three at the most).
• Important to keep the activity level high.
• Use cones and lines to set up the different types of relay:
  1. Up to the cone and back again. Point for the first player back.
  2. Up to the cone and do a complete circle and back.
  3. Up to the cone and go round clockwise (left foot).
  4. Do a figure of eight around the two cones.
  5. And so on…
• Pairs and Trios accumulate points as a team, but race individually.
• Ball must be stopped on the line to count as a correct finish.

Teaching:

• Encourage close control and tight turns.
• Must be alert and alive.

Target:

• To be the first team to score three (but downplay the winning-at-all-costs mentality). Mainly … have fun!
