Set Up
Create a small area using cones or lines on the field for boundaries. Every player will have a ball and there will be a coach(s) inside the play area as the zombies. On the whistle, the players will start running with their ball in the play are and coaches will walk around like zombies. if a player gets tagged by a coach or runs outside the playing area, they will freeze in place. Their teammates can unfreeze them, but rolling a ball through their legs, and scooping a ground ball. Continue for 5-10 minutes, and the kids will have a great run!
Coaching Points and Principles
- Ball Control and Awareness – Keep your head up, stay away from zombies, and don’t run out of bounds!
- Communicate – Help unfreeze your teammates
Progressions
- Make field smaller so its more challenging or larges for less experienced players
