Cleam your room

Explanation

The kids will be split into two teams. Each team stands either side of the marked out line. Tell the kids that they have to clean their room quicker than the other team and after one minute whichever team has the tidiest room wins. 

When you shout GO! the kids have to pass a soccer ball into the other teams bedroom to make it messier. Once a ball comes back into their area they should once again kick it back. 

Make sure the kids use the correct passing technique. If the ball is kicked past the player they should chase after it and do a drag-back turn to face the other direction. After one minute stop the kids and see who has the least balls in their area and therefore the tidiest room!

Doctor Doctor Game


Explanation

Two teams battle it out to win this game of doctor doctor. Each team will need a doctor who will start in their smaller area (doctor house) without a ball. All the other players start somewhere inside the larger area with a ball each at their feet.

Youth football drills like this one are fun but it is important to coach the necessary points at all time. The object of the game is to try and kick the other teams balls outside of the area and retain yours. If a players ball is kicked out of the area they must leave it and go to ground shouting 'doctor, doctor help!' This player can only retrieve their ball and stand up and carry on once their teams doctor has tagged them.

To win the game, a team must pass/kick their ball at the other teams doctor once they come out to tag their team mates who have had their ball kicked out.This game may sound complicated but it really isn't. The doctors cannot be shot at if they are in their doctor houses. This will encourage the players with balls to attempt to tackle the other players and kick their balls out of the area.
