Odds and Evens
A basic soccer passing drill for early learners and a good warm-up soccer drill for more intermediate players, teams line up a few yards from a line of soccer balls, one line is told they attack if an odd number is called the other is listening for an even number.
Teams line up a few yards from a line of footballs
One line is told they attack if an odd number is called the other is listening for an even number
The coach calls out a number at random
The corresponding team must try to strike the other team below waist height
The other team must try to make it to safety over their line
Any player who is hit is out, the winner is the last player in
Watch carefully that players are passing the ball low, do not allow balls to be fired dangerously
You may want to begin by using colors instead of numbers for younger children
