Set up
One ball each. Pairs spread out anywhere.
How it works
The leader dribbles anywhere. The partner follows and copies every turn.
- Stay a step behind, no touching.
- Swap leaders every twenty seconds.
Say this
"Copy the turn""Head up"
Too easy?
Leader adds a trick each turn.
Too hard?
Leader walks.
Organising it
5 m sided area per group. With 14 kids: 7 groups of 2. With 20 kids: 10 groups of 2. Runs with one coach.
Steer away from walls and other pairs.
Missing gear? No ball each → leader dribbles, shadow copies with no ball.
