Set out 6 goals, 3 different colours with the same coloured goals opposite each other.
Split the group into attackers and defenders.
Defenders to play a diagonal pass to an attacker who will try to dribble through a goal on the side of the defender. The closest goal is worth 1 point, middle worth 2 and the furthest from the attacker worth 3.
Defender to force the attacker away from the high scoring goal using their body to show a larger gap.
If the defender wins a tackle, they are to try to score inside the opposie goals.
Rotate attackers and defenders.
-Recall last weeks body shape (on toes, bent knees, side on, switch leading foot to prevent having back to the ball)
-Can the defender lead the attacker away from high scoring goals by blocking and showing an alternate pathway.
-Can defender make a tackle that keeps possession of the ball
