2’s Games
Parent & Me. Each child has their own ball to dribble from their goal to the other goal and score. After they score they stay in the goal in which they scored until all the kids finish. With the help of the parents, the kids repeat the game, heading back to the goal in which they started to play again, about 3-4 times.
The role of the coach in this approach is to provide a high level of energy, communication, and encouragement to both the kids and the parents.

UPside Skill: Teamwork. To teach teamwork during your sessions, encourage the kids to work together during games and the scrimmage. Encourage them to help each other, share and listen closely when other teammates are talking. You can reinforce the UPside skill throughout the session by reminding the kids what team they’re on and asking them how they can help their teammates.
