Play 1 v 1 for a set period of time, with players trying to take on their opponent and score between the cones.
At the end of the game, the winning player moves up (left) a pitch to take on someone else, while the loser moves down (right) a pitch.
The player on the top pitch stays at the top if he wins, and the player at the bottom pitch stays there if he loses.
Encourage players to change speed and direction, as well as the use of dummies.
