Implementation • Players work in pairs, dribbling around the grid. One player is the leader (white) the other the follower (dark). • The leader tries to lose the follow, by changing speed and direction. • Play for 2-3 minutes then switch roles, on the instruction switch the leader passes the ball under the followers legs then they start again.
