Set up a circuit in a square shape of about 20 × 20 metres. On the top side, place four slalom poles 2.5 metres apart. On the bottom side, place two defenders about seven metres apart. Each consists of a line of three cones across the direction of travel. The right and left sides remain straight. Each player has their own ball, and the players start at different points on the circuit, so nobody queues. Everyone moves in the same direction. In the slalom, dribble with short touches and at direct speed. Dribble straight towards the middle of the defender, use a feint, and go around one end of the line. If you catch up to someone, beat them on the outside. One circuit suits 6–8 players, so for a large group build several circuits. Change direction every few laps, or dribble only with the right foot or only with the left foot. If there are no poles, the slalom can be done with cones.
In the slalom, short and frequent touches with the inside of the foot and outside of the foot, keeping the ball close to the foot. On the straight, a longer touch with the instep and a longer stride, slowing down already before the slalom and the cones. In the feint, a clear shift of body weight in front of the defender, then a sharp change-of-direction step past the end of the line. In changes of direction, stay balanced on the balls of the feet with the knees slightly bent. Keep your head up and the ball in your peripheral vision so that you see the player ahead in good time.
