Description and Graphics

One player with ball starts the soccer drill with dribbling towards the defending zone where an other player is placed. Attacker has to dribble through the zone and beat the defender. Attacker has the possibility to feint into the direction of any opposite players. When attacker reaches the end of the defending zone he passes the ball to the first player in the group. The task is the same for the receiver. Defender stays in the middle until he takes a ball or attacker loses the ball or defender spends too much time in the middle.
