Grade 1/2 Weekly Sessions
Week 1 - Stuck in the Mud |
| ||
|
The mud monster (coach) appears and tries to tag all the soccer players. If the mud monster tags the player you are frozen in the swamp. To be released you have to call for help from one of your teammates who must pass their soccer ball through the legs of the stuck player.
Then select 1 or 2 new mud monsters to take the coaches place. The aim of the game is for the mud monster(s) to have every player “stuck in the mud” |
|
Week 2 - What time is it Mr. Wolf? |
| ||
|
Coach starts as the big bad wolf. Each little pig has a brick house (a cone) The Pigs shout “What’s the time Mr. Wolf” and the wolf shouts back a time. Each player advances the ball the number the wolf shouts out. Pigs ask again and repeat. When the Wolf shouts “Dinnertime”, the pigs have to dribble their soccer balls back to their house.
The wolf chases and tries to kick their ball away. Let each player have a go as the wolf. ...Play with no ball and try to tag the pigs then add the ball. |
|
Week 3 - Swamp Soccer |
| ||
|
The coach has the players standing shoulder to shoulder on one side of the swamp. The players have to try and dribble their soccer ball through the swamp to the other side without the swamp monster stealing their soccer ball. If a player is caught they link hands with the other swamp monsters. The players will then try and cross again on the coaches’ command. All the swamp monsters will move in unison (hands held) and capture a player.
The winner is the last player standing. Coaching Point – Encourage the players to keep the ball close so they can change direction/pace quickly. *Make sure the swamp monsters are holding hands all the time. |
|
Week 4 - Dribbling/Turning |
| ||
|
Each player has a partner and they give themselves a number 1 or 2. Number 1 have 3 seconds to get away before 2 comes chasing after them. They both have a ball. Once 2 have tagged 1, the roles reverse. Most tags are declared the winner. Switch partners.
