RACE TO FEED THE DRAGON
# PLAYERS: 2 or can be done individualy
EQUIPMENT: an even number of balls between 6 and 20, one cone, and one goal
Place the balls in two even piles on the halfline, and put the cone about 1/3rd of the way from the goal.
Before starting, ask the kids if they know what a soccer dragon looks like. Then tell them with wide eyes that the goal is a dragon and it is VERY hungry, and this dragon likes to eat soccer balls.
Have the players stand with one on each side of the goal. They will then run as fast as they can to get a ball from their pile, then dribble back and shoot it in the goal before they get to the cone. They must then run behind the goal, and go for another ball. The game continues until one player has shot all of his/her balls. The player who has scored the most is the winner.
If you want to use this as an individual drill, it is over when all the balls have been shot.
If there isn't a net on your goal, and you have extra players, have them collect the balls at the goal so it cuts down on chasing time between turns.
