"Shark"

Playing "shark". One man starts on the outside of the box without a ball, aka "the shark". The other players start in the box with a ball. The shark runs into the box and starts to kick balls out. Once your ball goes out of the box, you also become a "shark" until all the balls are knocked out of the box. This teaches defensive...how to attack the ball and clear it from a zone. It teaches offense...how to maintain control of the ball in tight spaces, how to move to open space and how to avoid defenders. This is a good change of pace game for the kids...a fun break from the standard drills.
