1. Stoppable shot when this drill is chosen to warm up the goalkeeper.

2. Variation: start both at the same time and only one player may shoot, The other one feints a goalshot: reaction drill for goalkeeper.

The last player dribbling is the winner.

Centerball - Bench game

To set this game up you need a gymnastics bench at each side of the half court and two back to back benches (or a large gymnastics box if available) laying flat inside the middle of the area.

In this middle area there should be a white player defending their side of the bench and a blue player defending their side.

The white team tries to score by hitting the ball on the blue's side of the bench and the white side tries to score on the blue's side of the central bench.

After every failed attempt to score the team who made the shot must touch one of the benches on either side of the area.
