Two players line up on opposite sides of a square.
The attacking player dribbles the ball towards the centre before then attempting to stop the ball between one of the goals.
The goal nearest to the defender's starting point is worth 10 points as it is the hardest goal to stop the ball in. The middle goal is worth 5 and the top goal only 1 point.
The defender should not try and force a tackle, they should instead simply try to shadow and force the player to the 1 point goal
