1v1 Duel Ladder

Set up

8x8m courts in a row, one per pair, gate at each end.

How it works

1v1 on each court. Dribble through your gate to win. Winners move up, losers move down.

• Play ninety seconds per round.

Scoring: Top court at the end wins.

Say this

"Attack the gate""Win the first touch"

Organising it

8 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 → shoes and bags mark court corners and gates. Few balls → losing pair fetches for the court above.
