Shrimps and crabs
- 15 min
- 6 players
- 3v3
- Build-up play
About 6 players, area 10–12x7–8 m, balls. Half of the players are shrimps. They each have a ball and their task is to get from one short side to the other. The other half of the players are crabs. They walk in a crab position and have the job of taking the shrimps’ balls. Shrimps who lose their ball become crabs in the next round. Continue until everyone has lost their ball. Progression: Hop on one leg. The crabs now hop on one leg instead. They catch the shrimps by touching them. Switch legs between each round.
What the coach should look for
- Run and carry the ball towards free space, change direction and speed up when you are being chased.
- The crabs can work together to take the shrimps’ balls more easily.
