Set up

Per pair: one ball, one cone gate eight steps away.

How it works

One partner throws the ball. The other traps it dead and dribbles through the gate.

  • Throw it below head height.
  • Swap jobs after five throws.

Scoring: One point for a one-touch trap.

Say this

"Soft touch""Touch into space"

Too easy?

Throw it higher and wider.

Too hard?

Roll the ball along the ground.

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 → two shoes or bottles make the gate. One ball per pair is all you need.
