Player A passes the ball wide to player B. Player B dribbles the ball in slalom between the cones and passes the ball back to player C, who runs around the small cone and towards goal, where he shoots on goal. Player D guides the ball towards the endline (at the same time as when player B dribbles the ball between the cones). At the endline, player D taps the ball back in opposite direction and passes the ball to player A, who runs around the small cone and towards goal, where he shoots on target. Fase 2: player C tries to prevent A from scoring. When he can get the ball, he can score in the small goals on the other side (orange cones).
Players A & C: Run towards the ball passed by players B and D at the right moment to be at the right spot at the right time. Players B & D: pass the ball the the foot farthest away and in front of players A and C, in order to allow them to check the ball easily before scoring. Look up before making the cross pass to know where the other player is.
