First team to have all members of their team in the home box after completing skills successfully is the winner.
Ideas for skills- toe taps, side taps, sole of foot rolls, skill of the day, knee taps, bum taps etc.
Progression- A different skill is required to be completed in each box.
Keep ball under close control while dribbling.
Encourage use of laces. inside, outside and sole of foot for dribbling.
For skill of day (scissors for example) reinforce relevant coaching points.
