STORYLINE

Today we are playing Football Ladders. Your goal is to catch the football and complete the ladder course.  

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide you into two groups.
• Before the game begins, line up single file behind your group’s marker cone.    
• When I say, “GO!” the first person in line must try and catch a ball Coach throws..
  • After you have caught the ball, run through the ladder course and to the end zone.  
• Once you have made it into the end zone, return to the back of the line and put your ball back into the hula-hoop.

TEACHING TIPS

• Remind children they cannot begin running until they have caught the ball.  
• If a child does not catch the ball, have them pick it up and continue through the course.  
• Quickly toss the ball within a couple of seconds to keep kids from waiting in line for long periods of time

STORYLINE

Today we are playing Blockers. Your goal is to see how many times you can run through the blockers (noodles) while still holding onto your football.

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will select one person to begin with the football.
  • Everyone else will be a blocker.
• Before the game begins, blockers will form a line with their noodles.   
• When I say, “GO!” run through the tunnel of blockers.
  • If you drop your football pick it up and try again.
  • Once you make it through the blockers, throw your ball through the hula-hoop.
• We will begin a new game once I select a new person to begin with the ball.

TEACHING TIPS

• Demonstrate how children should run through the blockers while properly protecting their football.
• Remind children they will not get hurt while running through the blockers. 

STORYLINE

Today we are playing Target Practice. Your goal is to see how many throws you can make into the target (hula-hoop) with your football.

INSTRUCTIONS

• Before the game begins, line up on the baseline shoulder-to-shoulder with your ball.
• When I say, “GO!” run to any dot on the field and throw your ball into the target.
  • If you make the target, retrieve your ball and go to a different dot.  
    • If a ball bounces out of the target it still counts.
• We will begin a new game after a couple of minutes.  

TEACHING TIPS

• Ø  Remind students to be aware of others throwing around them to avoid being hit.

STORYLINE

Today we are playing a Football Scrimmage. Your goal is to see how far you can run with the football before being tagged by a defensive player.

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide you into two groups – offense and defense – using flags to tell who you are.
• Before the game begins, the offense will line up shoulder-to-shoulder on the baseline.
• I will select which three offenders to start off with a ball.
• The defense will line up on the end line.
• When I say, “GO!” offenders will run as fast as they can to the end zone.
  • Defenders will try and tag offenders.
  • If you are tagged you must freeze where you are.
  • Offenders can pass the ball to their teammates at any point.  
    • If you are frozen and pass your ball off to a teammate, you can start moving again.
• When every offender has been tagged or has made it into the end zone we will begin a new game.

TEACHING TIPS

• Have children play a couple of rounds before having them switch offender and defender roles. 
• Remind children to use two-finger butterfly tags only
• Encourage passing by participating.
