Organisation: 20 x 20 area with a gaol at each end. Position players in two rows on each side of the area as shown in the diagram; each player is given a number. How to play: As the coach calls out the number, the player from each team with that number runs around the outside of the field and through their goal and on to the field of play. The coach serves a ball into the middle of the area. players must compete to win the ball and attempt to dribble or shoot the ball into the goal.
Keep ball vlose to your feet when dribbling 1v1. Shoot using laces for power. Using your dribbling skills and moves to beat a player to beat your opponent. Work as a team (2v2, 3v3 progression)
