Set Up:

There are 12-16 players set up inside of the large grid, split into two teams. All of the players on the attacking team start with a soccer ball. The players on the defending team try to kick all of the soccer balls out of the grid. When a player has his ball knocked out, he leaves the grid, sprints around one of the cones set up outside of the field, and re-joins play. The round is over when all of the balls are put out, and the team with the faster time is the winner.  

Coaching Points:

1.  Dribble with your head up and be ready to turn and shield.

2.  ‘Sell’ your dribbling moves with ball and body feints.

3.  Make sharp changes of speed and direction to beat defenders and/or create space.

Progressions:

1.  Attackers leave the field when their ball is put out.
