U6 Week 8 - June 18

Last week of soccer!  Please remind players and parents that Saturday is the wind up.  U6 runs from 10-11am with awards and snack to follow.  https://sites.google.com/site/revelstokesoccer/  for schedule.

Coaches, if you can not be at the wind up on Saturday please find someone who will look after and coach your team.

Last practice!  Have fun!  Here are some drills but please pick your (and the kids) favourites from the season and execute!! :)  Thank you again for giving up your time to these kids and the beautiful game we hope the experience has been positive!


Warm up:  pick your favourite tag game.
E.g.  Soccer tag.
Grid.
All have balls, dribbling around (except person who is it can carry their ball and us it to tag (not throw) but tag other players)....if tagged, freeze with foot on ball and legs apart, to be freed, another player must come and pass their ball through legs or dribble up and have their ball kiss the other players ball.

Kick the coach
Grid
All kids have a ball and they are trying to hit the coach (or parent) if they hit the coach with a ball (kicked) then that player gets to tell the coach what animal they must act out until they are next hit.


Sharks/Fun Island 
(where if they have their ball taken away by you they become a shark with you) play it British Bull dog style where all the fish have to get to the reef on the other side without the shark getting their ball...if you the shark gets their ball then they become a shark with you.  Fish swim when the sharks call out SHARK!!

Soccer Island/Fun House

In a larger grid (Island) (use your shark grid) create a fun house where they fly to go and do a skill (toe taps, pulls, dribble around a cone, whatever other fun(ny) thing you want them to do in the fun house.
Variation could be when you say fly, they can't be tagged by you the coach.

1v1 attack OR numbers game

wo goals, have half team on each side line, when you call their names they go and challenge a ball that you roll in, each team having a goal they need to score on
You can turn this into more than one on one or run it like the numbers game if you like

Set up a small grid, depending on number of players. Separate players/parents into 2 teams. Number players 1,2,3,4,5 etc. Call out a number. That numbered player/parent combo from each team enters into the field to challenge for the ball. Players try to score on opposing side while defending their own side. Parents and players not called can act as goalies on their side.

Games, Cheers, Snacks!!
