Pass around face-off

Blue players stand behind cones placed in a square, with two defenders stood inside a smaller square contained within the larger one.

The blue player who starts with the ball must dribble forwards and contest the area with the defender. The defending player can only use their torso to prevent the attacker from dribbling any further forwards.

After tussling with the defender the attacker must pass the ball in a clockwise direction to the next player and then run straight across the grid to the back of the opposite line.

Breaking through to shoot

Blue players line up behind three cones outside the 9 meter line.

The defender stands between the 7 and the 9 meter line, ready to block the attacker's run.

Attacking players take it in turns to dribble forwards and try and shuffle, feint and force their way past the defender.

After they have completed their run players then move in a clockwise direction to the next group.
