Tunnel tag
Tagged players freeze with legs apart; teammates free them by crawling through (or passing a ball through) the tunnel. Non-stop movement and lots of teamwork for younger groups.
Your assistant coach: turn this drill into a full session, plan the weeks around it and tell me how it went.
Set-up
- Two or three taggers in bibs; everyone else in the area.
- Optional: everyone else has a ball.
Equipment: Cones, bibs for taggers, balls (optional)
