Freeze Tag Warm Up

Setup

You will require: 1 ball each / 16 cones, Create an area approx 25x20 yards or large enough to fit your group, each player has a ball

How it works

The coaches are it and try to tag the players who must keep control of their ball, If a player gets tagged they have to touch the ball with the bottom of their foot (alternating) six times before they can start playing again, they could also perform 10 touches with the inside of both feet or combining inside and outside touches, play 1 minute rounds changing the main action each time
