Five players start on one end line, each with a ball. One defender is stationed in the middle without a ball.
All players must try to dribble past the defender to the safety of the other side on the coach's call.
If the defending player manages to kick the other players ball out of the area, then that player also becomes a defender. Continue until one attacker remains.
Accelerate into the spaces to the sides of the defenders.
Try to stop the ball with the sole of the foot on the far end line rather than allowing the ball to run out of control.
Fake to go one way, then speed past the defender on the other side.
Make zig-zag moves across the area.
