Inside the orange rectangle, all the players will have a ball and dribble. Their aim is to kick all their teammates balls out of the rectangle so that they are out of the game. The last person inside rectangle wins. If you are out, there will be a rectangle on the side of the pitch, if you dribble 2 laps of it , you will be back in the game. If it carries on and game doesnt stop, the player who stays in the longest wins. If theres only 2 players left, nobody is allowed back in
-Dribble into space and look up to see who is around you -Shield the ball at time so then the teammates gives up so he can protect his own ball -If theres 2 people left, you can leave the ball in the corner and run to clear the ball away. -If nobody around you, you can stop and watch but have to be ready to be on the move. -Try to dribble 2 laps as quickly as you can to prevent it going to 2 people. -Using laces as you have most control over the ball
