Set-up
Every player has a ball inside the grid. Protect your ball while knocking others out of the grid. Last player with their ball in the circle wins. Run four rounds with a short break between. Light legs, big smiles — that's the point.
Coaching points
- Keep the ball tight under pressure — this is ball mastery dressed up as a game
- Eyes up: see the threats before they arrive
- Compete — last session before the season starts, go and enjoy it
Progressions
- Reduce the grid size to raise the pressure as rounds progress
- Add a rule: players eliminated become sharks who can only tackle, not possess
