1. Yellow attacker plays a 1v1 against the first blue defender. 2. If the attacker beats the defender, they then play another 1v1 against the second waiting blue defender. 3. If the defender wins the ball, the attacker who lost it becomes the new defender in the box.
1. Basically a 1v1 then another 1v1 if the attacker gets past first defender. Focus on elimination skills, tackling footwork. 2. Defenders can't tackle until the attacker enters their box. 3. Tell players to keep track of points. 1 point for beating both defenders and dribblin over baseline. 4. If skill level is high, potentially do a 1v2 with both defenders free to tackle the attacker (remove separate boxes)
