Set-up
Set 4 narrow 10x20 corridors side by side. Attacker starts with ball at one end, defender faces them. Attacker tries to dribble through to score; defender tries to stop them or force out of bounds. Rotate roles every 3 reps. Works simultaneously in all 4 lanes.
Coaching points
- Stay on your feet — diving in is a gift to the attacker.
- Force the attacker onto their weaker foot by your angle of approach.
- Bend your knees, low centre of gravity — be ready to shift both ways.
Progressions
- Attacker gets a 3-second head start to simulate a recovery run situation.
- Winner of each rep earns a point — track across 10 reps to create mini-competition.
