Chaos Dribbling

Pitch: Mark out an area of 30 x 20 metres with four cones. On two opposite sides there are 2 mini goals each, on the other two sides one small goal or full-size goal each. Dribbling takes place between the two sides with the mini goals.

Equipment: 4 cones, 4 mini goals, 2 full-size goals, bibs in two colours, plenty of balls.

Players: Two teams. One team lines up on one of the mini goal sides with one ball each and dribbles, the other spreads out next to the two full-size goals and has 4 balls per player.

• All players of the dribbling team set off into the playing area with their ball from the left-hand side and try to score in one of the mini goals on the opposite side.
• The other team stands next to the full-size goals and tries to shoot the dribblers' balls away.
• A ball that is hit is out of the game. If a ball that has been shot misses its target and reaches the opposite side, it may be used again.
• Whether a dribbler hits or misses the mini goal, the dribbler picks up the free ball behind the mini goals and starts the next round towards the other mini goal.
• After both rounds the dribbling team may take the balls lying in the mini goals and finish on the full-size goals. The other team may prevent this but may only enter the playing area as far as the level of the mini goals.
• The two teams then swap tasks.

Scoring: The team with the most points wins.

Progression:

• Make the corridor narrower towards the end so that the players finish earlier.
