Encourage the competitive factor during the exercise
The variant MARKERS/poles makes the situation difficult for the defender who has to be ready according to the striker decision
Carrying the ball to avoid opponentes includes: having the bust slightly bent forwards to cover the ball, keeping the head up, the touching foot must always be close to the ball, limbs consistent with the ball, performing the proper number of touches according to the distance that the player has to travel and finally using hands as possible sensors to find out where opponents are
Encourage players to use both legs during dribbling, in order to increase the unpredictability of the skill
Encourage players to keep the ball close to their feet, whenever it is necessary to overcome an obstacle it should be fast and easy to control the ball again
Make players get used to use their arms and hands as sensors to be able to find the position of opponents and keep the general body balancing
Requirements to beat the player: dribbling, senso-perceptive capacity, differentiation, monopodalic equilibrium, reaction and motor fantasy
