A competitive exercise on attacking initiative, dribbling and cooperation between two attackers. Mark two equal squares with cones, 12–16 metres apart. Players rotate positions and roles in alphabetical order all the time. Player A is the defender who tries to touch or win the ball. B and D are supporters who move to give the attackers a wall-pass option. E and C are attackers who try to beat the defender and dribble out of the square through the gap between the cones on the far side. They choose freely between a 1v1 and a 2v1 with a wall pass. The defender scores only by touching or winning the ball. The game runs in both directions without stoppages. If the defender wins the ball or it goes out, the coach feeds a new ball.
