Get Your Own Ball Warm Up

Setup

You will require: 3 balls / 12 cones, Create a square area large enough for your group, all players find a space in the area, three of the players will have a ball

How it works

The coach blows the whistle to start and the players have to try and steal a ball by tackling, When an attacker loses their ball they become a defender, Balls kicked out of the circle remain with the attacker, play 45 second rounds and whoever does not have a ball then they have to perform a funny activity
