Welcome in motion

Cue

Look before you move.

Principle
Every child is greeted; moving with the head up is the first fundamental.

Set-up

Everyone in a marked area. Move, accelerate, stop in balance and change direction on a signal. Look for free space. With few balls: half move without a ball, half dribble; swap after 30 seconds. Greet every child personally.

Where this fits

Solves Awareness Order

By layer

Layer 0Aware	No ball, lots of stopping and turning.
Layer 1Control	Half with a ball, swap after 30 seconds.
Layer 2Shape your own	React to a partner instead of a signal.

How do you coach it?

Player-centred: variation, questions and room to find a solution.

A real choice for the playerautonomy
Variation: angle, distance, defender, timecompetence
Questions instead of answers ("what did you see?")autonomy
Everyone can succeed; a challenge just above their levelcompetence
Partners rotaterelatedness

Precise correction of form is not the criterion here.

Easier

Walk, more space, no ball.

Harder

React to a moving partner instead of a fixed signal.

Question to observe

Can they stop without colliding and move again?
