Instructions:

1.- Players have to dribble around a marker to score a point

2..- After fully rounding a marker, players can then move to another marker to score

3.- Players can not score at the same marker twice in a row

4.- Players are only allowed to use one surface to control the ball, e.g. inside, outside, sole, laces

5.- Players play for one minute for each surface, and count their own scores

6.- Players are then given one minute to use all surfaces, and try to beat their own record 

Coaching Points:
