All players have a ball and start at one side of the rectangle. They have to dribble the ball under control to the other side of the rectangle and back.
Instruct players to do the following: Toe taps, side to sides, on the spot chops, step overs, kick ups, and turns. Allow players to be creative and try their own skills. Ask players to demonstrate their skills to the others.
