drawing 2 vs.
2 Teams compete to see who gets between the hats across the field first.

  • 2 teams line up on the side of the field.
  • Player 1 stands at one and a half meters with legs apart and facing the queue.
  • Player 2 stands in the same position one and a half meters behind player 1.

  1. Player 3 starts the exercise by slaloming dribbling between the players.
    When he has passed the last player, he passes the ball through the spread legs of the other players toward the first in the queue and stands in the same position one and a half meters behind the last player.
  2. When there are no more players in the queue, player 1 starts the slalom and completes it as previously described.
    In this way, the team moves forward toward the finish line. Whoever gets there first has won.
  3. By varying the dribble, for example tip-top dribble or reverse dribble, you can make the exercise easier or more difficult.
