Instructions
- The first attacker attempts to dribble past the defender and score by dribbling through an 'angled' goal.
- Defenders aim to win the ball and score by dribbling through a 'flat' goal.
- If the ball exits the area, the attacker returns to the line and a new attacker starts.
- Rotate roles after a set time.
Coaching Points

- Stay positive and maintain a proactive approach.
- Focus on technical execution and quick acceleration.
- Control the ball closely when near the defender.
- Create and exploit space effectively to beat opponents.
- Execute attacking moves at the optimal distance from the defender.
