Set up

One cone gate and one ball per pair, gates scattered in a 25x20m box.

How it works

Pass, run through a gate, take the return pass on the run.

  • Run through a different gate each time.
  • Pass into the runner's path.

Scoring: Ten gates in ninety seconds.

Say this

"Pass and move""Head up first"

Too easy?

Weak foot only.

Too hard?

Walk it, keep one gate.

Organising it

7 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 → bags and bottles make the gates. Too few balls → trios, the spare swaps in at every gate.
