Divide the group into teams of 4. One player in goal, two defenders and one attacker. The defenders (Alligators) adopt a crab position (belly up, hands and feet on the floor) and start in the middle of the grid.
The attackers must try to dribble around the alligators and score a goal.
Run with the ball by pushing it with your laces. Keep your head up while dribbling.
