Body-Part Bingo

Ball Mastery & 1v1 · U8–U9

Obj: Build surface repertoire (sole, inside, outside, laces, thigh) through a game, not a lecture. Field: 25×20yd open space. Equip: Ball each, cone corral, bingo card poster. Org: Players dribble freely; coach calls a surface ("outside foot only!") or a mini-task ("stop it with your sole, spin, go"); completing 5 different calls = "bingo," celebrate, restart. CP: (1) Soft touches — ball stays within a big step; (2) eyes up between touches; (3) both feet get every call. Prog: Two calls chained; add gentle coach pressure as "the fun police" stealing loose balls. Reg: Walk-pace calls; demonstrate each surface first. Mist: P: smashing the ball far ahead; C: calling too fast — kids need 20–30s per task. Time: 12 min arrival activity. Out: Every child touches the ball 150+ times; can name surfaces. Var: Partner bingo (mirror each other); music version (change surface when music stops). Diag: Open rectangle, scattered players each with ball, coach central with bingo poster.

The 3-point rule: pick your three coaching points before the session and be ready to answer for them (Manual 5.4).
