PROTECT THE CONE - INDIVIDUAL 11
Introduction
Ask your players to pretend that the cones in this activity are their
lungs the whole object is to keep them safe. Only with safe and healthy
lungs, protected from the dangers of tobacco, can they win.
The Game
- Define a rectangular space. Each player starts with a ball and a cone.
- Each player must protect the cone while trying to attack and kick over
other cones. Players must keep the ball under control while defending and
attacking.
- When defending, players must try to block attackers by keeping the
ball and their bodies between the cone and the attacker.
- On attack, players should try to maneuver around defenders while
controlling the ball to get a clear kick at their cones. If a cone is
kicked over, it can be set up again after an exercise like dribbling or
juggling the soccer ball.
Coaching Points
- This game allows players to stay included by doing some simple
exercises. Choose activities that can be performed quickly so players can
get involved.
- Vary the activity to include exercises like push-ups, sit-ups,
cartwheels, dribbling, pull backs, stepovers, touches on ball, hopping
over ball, etc.
- Make sure players control the ball while defending and attacking.
- Watch for players who DEFEND or ATTACK more often.
- Watch and help players determine when to attack and when to leave the
cone, as well as when to defend and when to stay at home around the cone.
- Help players remember to keep their bodies and the soccer ball between
their cones and the attacker.
- Explosive, quick moves will help attackers maneuver around defenders.
