Exercise Objectives:
This is an introductory exercise for dribbling. The major focus is on vision, change of direction, change of speed and control over the ball.
 
Field Preparation
   Entire Group
   Area 20 x 20 yards
   Cones or Flag poles
   Supply of  Balls
 
Coaching Pointers:
Have players line up on one end with their soccer balls. Before they try to dribble to the other side they must sing and dance the following song: Bananas united, bananas split, go bananas, go bananas... go!

The coach, who is in the middle, tries to kick the players' soccer balls out of the grid. If this happens, the camper becomes a banana on the ground. If the camper can gather another player's soccer ball from where they are on the ground, they are free.
