Organizational Points:
  • get into partners
  • number yourselves #1 and #2
  • #1's are the leaders and #2's are the followers
  • when you hear the whistle, switch so that #2's are the leader and #1's are the followers
  • each whistle is a switch
  • start at a walk
  • move to a jog
  • end in a pretty hard sprint
Extension:
  • give the leader a ball
  • the leader tries to dribble the ball and stay away from the defender
  • OR give both a ball, the leader still tries to stay away from the defender switching at each whistle
