Rules
D by numbers - split the group in two, half on opposite sides
of a 10 yd square. Each side counts off, 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. One
side has the ball.
Go - coach calls a number from each line. The person from the ball
side tries to dribble past the other player all the way to the other line.
The D player tries to steal the ball (or at least contain the attacker).
Both players return to their original side.
tips: 1) first no instruction.
2) offense, watch the defender's body. Dribble straight at the
defender. When they stab at the ball try to dribble behind them.
3) defense, watch the ball. Don't go for fakes. Try to stay
between the O and your goal. Be a pest.

up the field. Go - coach kicks ball towards the corner. Players
1 (offense) and 2 (defense) race for the ball and try to "cut off" the other

gets the ball, try to bring it up.
