It is also a great way to practice moving into space to support their teammates.
This warm up game is a fantastic way to get kids moving quickly and energized for practice. After every point the player who made the point-scoring pass switches out with the target player. If at any point a team drops the ball, it is turned over to the other team. This is a non-contact game and opponents win possession by intercepting passes only. If a team successfully gets the ball to the target player and he/she catches it, that team scores a point. Players without the ball can move freely, but the player with the ball can only pivot from side to side. The aim of the game is for the teams to get the ball to their target player by throwing and catching the ball to progress down the field.
To start the game, throw the ball to a player on one team. Place the target players at opposite ends of the grid and have the other players spread out inside the grid. Next, split the players into two teams and choose one player from each team to be the ‘target player’.
Kids absolutely love this first warm up game! To play, first set up a 25×35 yard grid and prepare one soccer ball.
