- Coaches call out a number and throw a ball into the middle of the pitch where the 2 players compete in a 1v1 scenario.

- Tackling
- Eliminating fast
- Carry the ball at 2 o’clock
- Toilet seat carry position
- Keep head up when dribbling to find space
- Accelerate after the skill has been performed.
- What is an advantage of playing forwards quickly?
- What is the best way to score goals?
- What makes a great defender?
- Increase the number of players called out
- Increase the amount of balls used after number of players has been increased
- Reduce the space
