Create a grid approximately 15x5 with two posts placed on the sides of the grid. Split players in two teams as shown in the image.
PROGRESSION
Blue player dribbles inside the yellow grid. At the same time the white player runs to defend. Aim of the blue player is to dribble past the defender and pass through one of the two gates either on the right or the left. As soon as he passes through he provides a pass to the opposite player and stays inside the grid to defend.
PROGRESSION 2
Same sequence but now to make it a bit more challenging for them let them have the option to run past the defender inside the grid. If they pass the defender inside the grid they get 2POINTS and if they pass the defender from the outside posts the get 1POINT.
