Note: This game can be used as either a Passing Game or a Shooting Game.

This is a quite silly game that younger kids find really fun. Set the storyline by asking "Who knows what a Mosquito is?" After you see some raised hands, ask "What do Mosquitos do?" The answer you'll most certainly get is that they bite you!

Well explain that they should pretend that the soccer ball is actually a mosquito, and that they get to use it to bite you, the coach (for some reason kids LOVE kicking the ball at the coach!).

The game starts by lining the kids up along one end line, each with their own ball. The coach starts at one end, about 10 feet in front of the end line, and then walks along in a line parallel to the players. The coach has their hands over their face, pretending to not see what is coming (I usually peak a bit to watch where I'm walking). Tell the players that when the coach is in front of them, take their best shot (or firm pass) at biting the coach by hitting them with the ball! Be sure to make funny noises when you get "bit"!

While the game is being played, stress proper technique depending upon which skill you are working on (passing or shooting).
