Attacker starts side-on; the turn itself releases the defender.

Attacker stands side-on to the defender
  • 2+ players
  • 1 ball
  • At least 2 goals

Ball in the middle with the attacker on it. A goal at each end. The defender stands between two small cones about 3 yards away.

  1. Attacker stands square to the defender, not facing a goal.
  2. First touch uses the inside or outside of the foot to turn the ball.
  3. That touch releases the defender to chase.
  4. Both players can score in either goal.

Don't let the attacker face a goal on their first touch. The turn is the point.
