Body Mechanics

1. The first player furthest from the center of the field in each channel tries to race and fake the other player out. The objective is to score a point in either endzone.

2. If the attacking player (leading) is successful at faking the defender and enters the zone, alone, he/she gets a point.

3. But if the defender catches up to the attacker and enters the zone at the same time, he/she gets the point.

4. Roles switch after each turn.

Technical: Unopposed

1. Practice via repetition. No competition.

2. Players will start off dribbling to midline of the grid one at a time. Once they approach the endline they will perform an drag turn to change direction and return to the starting point.

3. Progression > Players dribble all the way to the other endzone and perform a drag turn. On their return, player looks to practice the highwave (stop start) before high-fiving the next person in line.

Coaching Points:

1. Quality of first touch (Direction - towards goal, Weight)

2. Awareness of defender's position

3. Be positive, attack goal if possible

4. Decision, Turn or Stop start to lose the defender (Scenarios from warm up)
