2v2 End-Line Dribble Game — Carry Across to Score

Set up a 20×15m area with 2 cones on each end line (3m apart = the scoring zone). 2v2. Teams score by dribbling the ball across the opponent's end line and stopping it in the scoring zone. No shooting — must carry the ball across. If the ball goes out, restart with a dribble from the sideline. 3-minute games, rotate opponents.

1. Keep the ball close — in a 2v2, tight control beats long dribbles. 2. Use your teammate — pass if the defender blocks the dribble lane. 3. Support at an angle — don't stand behind the defender. 4. When you see the end line open, accelerate and carry the ball across. 5. Defenders: delay the dribbler, don't dive in — force them sideways. 6. After scoring, quick restart — don't let the other team recover.

• Limit touches to 3 — forces quicker decisions and passing.
• Add a neutral player who plays for the team in possession — 3v2 overload.

• Make the area larger (25×20m) — more space to dribble.
• Defenders are passive — shadow, don't tackle.
