Soccer: Rats and Rabbits

Four groups are placed at four corners of the square.

The two groups to one side of the square dribble the ball around the square in a clockwise fashion and the other two dribble the ball around the square in a anti-clockwise fashion.

Keep going until all the team have been at least once.

2 players, with one ball per pair stand between two cones.

Players face each other in the centre of an imaginary line between two cones 10 metres apart. On the coaches command "1-2-3 Quickfire", the players must perform a dragback or Cruijff turn and take the ball past the cone behind. If the player passes the cone before being tackled he/she wins a point.

Station one player in each grid in the crab postion (belly up, on hands and feet). Six players start on one end line. Station discs at the opposite end line.

The standing players must dribble across the area without being tackled by the crab players who are trying to kick the balls out of the area. If a ball is kicked out, the player stays in the game and tries to help his teammates get the other balls across. The object of the game is to see how many times the players can dribble across the area until no soccer balls are left. Count how many successful trips players make. Repeat and rotate.

Players run towards the cone and when they are about to go past the cone they pull back the ball with the sole of the boot and change direction to run at the next cone. This is a good practice for repetition.
