Beehive Tag

CoachTruly

Description: One or two players start as bees (taggers), and their task is to try to sting the beekeepers (other players) by touching them. Everyone has a ball. First sting: The player must keep one hand on the "sting site" (e.g., leg or side) while continuing to dribble. Second sting: The player must also keep their other hand on a new sting site, which makes dribbling more challenging. Third sting: The player has received too many stings and must visit the "medical point" in a marked area in the center of the field. The player can return to the game by completing a task, such as 15 juggles or 20 inside-of-foot touches alternating feet. When the task is completed, the player returns to the game.
Coaching key points: Keep your head up while dribbling to observe the environment. Sudden changes of direction and evasive movements develop players' agility and ball control skills.
Key questions: How can you detect the bees early and react quickly? How can you feint to deceive the bees?
