Destroyers and Construction Workers

– Scatter 15-20 pylons or markers on the field throughout the area (cans of food or drink, or plastic pop bottles and milk cartons filled partially with water or sand). These pylons should be standing up straight.
– Divide the group into two equal teams. One group is designated the Destroyers and the other group the Construction Workers.
– On the coach’s “GO”, the Destroyers attempt to tip over the pylons with their hands, while the Construction Workers attempt to repair the pylons by standing them back up.
– Set a time for this activity and at the end count the number of pylons that the destroyers have knocked down, then allow the teams to switch roles.
– After each group has had an opportunity being both a Construction Worker and a Destroyer, reverse their roles again.
– The second time that the players must dribble a soccer ball and must have their foot on top of the ball when they tip over a pylon either as a Construction Worker or a Destroyer.
