Organization:
Area: 18y x 15y
Set up field with three-yard-wide gates in each corner. The attacker starts with the ball, makes a 1v1 move, dribbles the ball forward and tries to score by dribbling through one of the two gates on the opposite sideline. The defender can do the same after winning the ball; score by dribbling through one of the two gates. After each turn players switch sides. A turn is over when a goal is scored, or the ball goes over the endline. When the ball goes over the sideline, play restarts with a dribble.
Game: Players keep track of the amount of goal scored, individually or as a team.
Variation: The defenders start the 1v1 with a pass to the attacker.
