© CoachTruly
Description
Players are divided into two teams. In the middle of the area, one player from each team plays a 1v1 situation, while other team members act as support players on the edges of the area. Objective: The team should maintain possession of the ball for as long as possible by utilizing the support players. Rules: The player in the middle can pass the ball to a support player from their own team. When a support player receives a pass, they move to the middle into the 1v1 situation. The player who made the pass moves to the edge as a support player. The opponent tries to win the ball and gain possession for their own team.
