Organization:
Area: 15y x 10y
The players start from two lines on opposite sides of the grid. The defender passes the ball to an attacker to begin the 2v2. The players score by dribbling the ball over the end line, and they 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.
