The players line up at one end of the grid with the coach the other end. The players will then shout "how long left ref?" The coach will then give them a time e.g. 5 mins and then counts 1-2-3-4-5 and turns to face the players who are dribbling towards him. Anyone still moving has to go back to the begining.
The winner is the first one to touch the coach.
Keep the ball within 2 - 3 feet between touches. Look up and around between touches.
