Set up

20x20m box. Two-cone doors scattered inside. Ball each.

How it works

Dribble to a door. Drag the ball back with your sole, spin away to a new door.

  • Pick a different door each time.
  • Go around other players.

Scoring: Count doors in ninety seconds.

Say this

"Sole on top""Drag and spin""Head up"

Too easy?

Two drag-backs at every door.

Too hard?

Bigger doors, walking pace.

Organising it

4 m sided area per group. With 14 kids: 14 groups of 1. With 20 kids: 20 groups of 1. Runs with one coach.

Missing gear? No cones → water bottles, bags or shoes as doors. No ball each → share one ball per pair, swap every 30 seconds.
