Set up

One 25x18m area, ten cone gates inside, two teams, one ball.

How it works

Both teams keep the ball. Pass through any gate to a teammate to score.

  • Use a different gate each time.
  • Keep the ball in the area.

Say this

"Find a gate""Head up""Pass and move"

Too easy?

Two touches maximum.

Too hard?

Dribbling through a gate also scores.

Organising it

21 m sided area per group. With 14 kids: one group, 2 play as all-time attackers. With 20 kids: 2 groups of 5v5. Runs with one coach.

Missing gear? No cones → make six gates from shoes and bottles. No bibs → shirts on, shirts off.

If this one is not landing

Defend the Castle

Two attackers go at once, one castle each. Defenders guard. Knock cones over with the ball.

Ladder Rondo

Keep the ball from the defenders. Ten passes sends one more defender in.
