Gate Crashers

Set up

Scatter one small cone gate per pair, two steps wide.

How it works

Pairs move around, passing to each other through any gate.

• New gate every pass.
• Count your gates out loud.

Scoring: Most gates in two minutes wins.

Say this

"Find a gate""Head up"

Organising it

6 m sided area per group. With 14 kids: 7 groups of 2. With 20 kids: 10 groups of 2. Runs with one coach.

Missing gear? No cones → make gates from shoes, bottles or bags. No ball per pair → work in threes sharing one ball.
