Juggling Horse

Juggling horse can be used as a warm up or during transitions between drills at practices.

Objective: Improve players' touch on the ball and their juggling skills.

Directions:  

Players pair up with a partner to compete against, and decide who goes first.  The player who goes first is "in control,"  and gets to call their shot, like in basketball "horse").  For example:  right thigh, left thigh, head, catch (within the guidelines set by the coach)!

The player who called their shot must complete the task on their 1st attempt.  If their attempt is successful, the opponent must complete the challenge on their 1st attempt as well or a letter is given.  (letters are given when the player who is not in control fails to complete the challenge on their 1st attempt.  Letters are awarded one at a time until the word horse is spelled.

When an attempt is failed by the player who called the shot, no point (letter) is awarded.  The next player simply gets to call their shot (has control).  If the player in control never fails an attempt, they never lose control.

When an attempt is failed by the player not in control, they are awarded a letter and still do not have control.

The 1st player to spell the word horse is the loser!

Once one of the pairs of players has a loser, all the players are to select anew partner to pair up with and a new game begins.  The players with the least letters in their game are considered winners and the players with the most letters in their game are considered losers.  Winners pair up with other winners, and losers pair up with other losers!
