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
