Warming up games with ball for Youngest Youth

King of the Ball:
  • Set out a box or grab a circle.
  • Give everyone but 1 player a ball.
  • The player without a ball wants to go take the ball from someone else.
  • Ball taken away or out and field then that person goes to help take the balls away.
Anne Maria cuckoo with ball:
  • Put all players on 1 line with a ball.
  • Have 1 player stand on the other side.
  • Have this person quietly call out Anne Maria Cuckoo.
  • The players with the ball may then run, the ball must be stationary when the roper has turned around.
  • If the ball is not stationary then players go back to the beginning.
Chairs dance:
  • Give all players a ball.
  • Have them float through the box and dribble with the ball.
  • When you call Yes they float as fast as they can to a hoop/pion- depends on what you have on hand.
  • Start by having everyone give another hoop/pion to stand at/in, then remove 1 each time.
Watch and perform:
  • Line up all the players with 1 ball.
  • They start floating with the ball, you indicate which way to go by pointing with your arms.
  • You don't say anything about this.
  • So they can't just look at the ball but must also look ahead which way to go.
Ball control:
  • Give each player a ball.
  • Have them float on a box with the ball.
  • When you call Yes they float with the ball straight across through the box to the other side.
  • Make sure they keep looking at each other so they don't collide with the other players.
Drifting and Scoring:
  • Make 2 teams.
  • Give all players 1 ball.
  • Have them start at the back line outside the circle.
  • On your signal, have them float the ball along the circle edge.
