Dodge the statue

How it works

1. One player stands still on a cone as a “statue” defender. No touching.
2. The ball carrier runs at the statue and, without slowing down, steps left or right past them and carries on to the end cone.
3. Then the statue may take one step left or right as the carrier arrives. Rotate the statue every few goes.

Coaching points

• Keep your feet moving. Never stop in front of a defender.
• Eyes on the space beside the defender, not on the defender.
• Ball in two hands, tucked away from the defender as you go past.

Ready for the next level when: Ball carriers go past the statue at full pace without slowing, on both sides.
