Setup

Players: Two equally sized groups, one at each row of poles.

Procedure

Variation 1:

  • The players run through the poles in a slalom.
  • The quicker player may take the ball from their own goal and try to pass it into the opposing goal.
  • The other player tries to prevent this in the 1 vs 1.
  • The group that is first to pass all the balls into the opposing goal wins.

Variation 2: As in Variation 1, but the players run back through the poles and then sprint to the duel area.

  • Demand feints in the duel.
  • The defender concentrates on the ball.
  • Get past the opponent with a feint and a change of pace.
  • Complete the action quickly.
