Exercise #577: Find the Coach

OBJECTIVE:	This exercise challenges young players to look around the field and react quickly.
DESCRIPTION:	Start with your players laying down on their stomachs and covering their eyes with their hands. The coach then moves to some part of the field away from the players and calls out "Find me!". The players then quickly open their eyes, find the coach, and sprint to him. The last player to arrive must do two "hops", and then everyone lays back down so you can play again.
vARIANTS:	1. Play again, but have each player start with a ball. On the coach's signal, the players must now dribble to the coach, stopping their ball in front of him. 2. Finally, increase the challenge by having the coach run away from the players as they dribble to catch him.
