Blue players must dribble up the pitch and around the cone before then turning sharply.
Once they have turned they must then take on the defender with a feint or a dummy before finally throwing a shot at the goal.
When attacking blue players should be thinking about how they are going to open up space to shoot - hiding their true shooting intentions from the defender until the last moment when they dummy, feint or change direction quickly to open the gap.
Variations :
Red 1 defensively blocks all shots or players must pass to Red 1 and back.
Players warm up the goalkeeper by throwing in such a way that the goalkeeper gets the opportunity to block the balls. If players are shooting within arm's reach of the keeper their shots should be:
Into the goalkeeper's hands, to the left/ right hand top corner, left/ right at shoulder height, left/ right hip height, left/ right knee height, left/ right bounce shot, left/ right bottom corners.
