Create a 5mx5m square using cones. Everyone has a ball and dribbles the ball within the square whilst keeping control of it. 2 players are nominated to be attackers. Their aim is to eliminate all players from the game by kicking their balls out of the square. The last player in the square with their ball wins the game.
Teaching points:
One person sets up whilst other explains, then both demonstrate.
Before 2nd round ask players how it could be modified to make it better e.g smaller/ bigger area, more/less attackers.
Demonstrate and explain the technique of dribbling and keeping control of the ball.
Explain how to defend and dodge the attackers by changing direction.
