Simple game that is great for a warm up or a warm down to get players moving around the area to gently warm up muscles or cool them off.
Good warm-up to get players brains in gear to think about the game that is coming up and to make sure they are in top gear.
Set up an area 10x10 yards you need balls, bibs and cones. We used 6 players in the session.
Give each player a bib, which must be tucked into the back of their shorts.
On your whistle, the players must move around the area and try to pull someone else’s bib away.
At the same time, they must also try to protect their own bibs.
If a player’s bib gets pulled away, they are out of the game. The last player left after every other player has lost their bib, is the winner.
Players must stay side on to each other to be able to survey all threats. Players must also keep looking around, never standing still.
This is an interesting warm-up that will help you see certain characteristics in players – which go on the offensive, looking to grab other players’ bibs, and which are more concerned with protecting their own?
