Objective:

players dribble around the area with a ball through the gates. When the coach blows the whislte he shouts a number (for example 5). the players stop dribbling and get themselves into groups of 5. any players left that have not got themselves in that specific number are the odd ones out and have to do a small forfit (5 press ups etc). Everyone starts dribbling again until the whistle is blown and another number is called and the whole process is repeated.

Aim:

this is to encourage the players to stay alert and on their toes to react to a situation first.
