-dribbling in one area

-incorporate different dribbling techniques (inside/outside, soles of feet, moves, keep-ups etc.)

Initial Game (25 mins)

6v2 with transfer

2 setups; ~15x20

-players with possession work to complete a minimum of 5 passes before they can transfer the ball over to their 2 waiting teammates on the other side

-can only transfer by dribbling directly across the line

-once transfer occurs, the player who dribbled and one other teammate go across the line to create a 4v2 in the other side. 2 remaining players stay back as targets

-2 defenders work for 2 minutes then we switch

-offense earns point for every transfer

-defense earns point for each pass they are able to make after winning ball back
