Group in pairs. 1 ball per pair. Position 1 player on each end line. An imaginary line is made in the middle of the area by 2 discs. Repeat in 5 other areas for a total of 12 players.
Player 1 starts with the ball and passes it to player 2. As soon as player 2 touches the ball, player 1 can try to win the ball. Player 2 tries to dribble to any of the 3 spare cones in the grid. Player 2 scores one point for beating his opponent to either of the lateral discs and two points if he dribbles the ball around player 1 to the disc at the top of the diagram. Repeat the practice with player 1 in possession.
You can adjust the game so that if player 1 wins the ball, he becomes the attacker and tries to score.
