Description and Graphics

The soccer drill begins with a pass from the defender to the attacker. The attacker receives the ball and dribbles toward the goals in front. The attacker's aim to score to one of the 2 goals. Primarily the target is the goal "A". Goal "B" is only the safety chance. The defender must try to close and defend goal "A", and he tries to win the ball. When the attacker scores to goal "A" that means 3 points for him, when he scores to goal "B" he gets 1 point. When the defender wins the ball he gets 2 points, and when the defender scores to the goals in front, he gets 3 points. Take the soccer drill competitive.
