SESSION #1 U8-U10
PASS N GO
First player in each line runs to the middle and
gets a ball and makes a pass to the second
player in their line through the flags for 1 point.
The receiving player then picks up the ball with
their hands and runs it back to the middle as fast
as they can and back to their line to tag the next
player to run to make another pass. For every
successful pass though the flags it's one point for
their team. First team to 10 wins!
SIT ON THE BALL
2 teams playing possession. The defending team
must try and intercept a pass and sit on the ball
quickly for a point. If they do then their team gets
possession of the ball. For every 2 passes the
offensive team gets a point.

SESSION #3 U8-U10
3 PASS BASKET GOAL
Two teams. the aim for the team in possession is
to make three passes (by throwing and catching
the ball) and then to throw into a team mates
basket to score. A player makes a basket by
linking their arms together in a circle. Make sure
players toss the ball under hand gently for the
basket to give the person being the basket enough
time to adjust and get into position.
For the younger kids start with just catching.
SHOOTING - WHICH BALL
Place 2 cones of different colors several yards
away from goal. 10 feet apart from one another. A
defender stands between the cones and an
attacker stands 15 yards in front of him without a
ball. The attacher runs towards the defender and
after five to seven yards the coach calls out a
cone color. The attacher sprints for the
corresponding ball and tries to score against the
defender. Player on the outside cone replaces ball
and steps in as defender.
READY SET GO TO GOAL
Divide players into 3 groups. Number each player in
each group. Group 1 is on the side of the goal acting
as defenders. Have them do something (toe taps,
start on their backs etc...) Group 2 is in the middle
target zone and jog around without a ball checking in
and out of space. Group 3 is dribbling their ball
around performing turns, toe taps, left and right
pullbacks, moves etc... When coach calls out a
number the number from each group come out and
play. Group 3 must pass to their number in group 2
an d group 1 defender comes out to defend. Rotate
