4
players but no more than
16
players. The drill should be ran approximately
20 minutes
on a
small field.
The coach will also make sure they have the following equipment:
cones, .
Make a grid approximately 20x15 yard. Instruct one defender to stand inside the grid without a ball. The remaining players will start on the end line with a ball.
On the coach’s command, all of the attacking players dribble at speed to the other side line avoiding the defender. If the defender wins the ball and kicks the ball out of the grid, that attacker becomes an additional defender (without a ball) on the next series. The last player to make it through the gauntlet wins the game.
