Organization:

Area: 15y x 10y

The players start on opposite sides of the grid. The defender passes the ball to the attacker to begin the 1v1. The attacker scores by dribbling the ball over the end line and must have full control over the ball for the goal to count. When the ball goes over the sideline, players dribble the ball back onto the field. Switch sides after each turn.

Game: Create two teams and keep track of the score. Switch sides/roles after five minutes.
