Sharks & Minnows
Description
Players, referred to as minnows, aim to dribble from one goal line to another while avoiding being tagged by a coach acting as the shark; if tagged, they join the shark team to help tag remaining minnows until none are left.
- Setup: Players line up to cross while avoiding a designated 'shark'.
- Objective: Dribble across without losing the ball to the shark, who tries to knock the balls away.
- Outcome: Reinforces ball protection and evasiveness.
