The Set-Up: In a 15 x 15 yard box. Set up 4 small goals about 3 yardsSplit the group into 2 teams of 4 (3 minimum). The Game:Players play 1v1 with the white team attacking the blue gates, the red team defending the blue gates. If red wins the ball he/she should immediately try to attack the red gates. White should quickly transition to defender. If the ball goes out of bounds, the next pair of players should begin the exercise. Attackers must dribble the gates to score.
The white attacker should ârun at the defenderâ or dribble out to confront the red defender. Feint in a particular direction to force the defender to shift in one direction. Accelerate past the defender and dribble through a gate. BE CREATIVE! Transition quickly on loss of possession.
