This game is great for improving players skills and is very versatile. Players must control the ball while there is a lot of โ€˜trafficโ€™ around and try not to bump into other players. Players can focus on a particular skill (ie when you pass through a gate turn using the outside of your foot). You can get the players to work in pairs and pass the ball through the gates to each other instead of dribbling through. The options are many so use some initiative and make up whatever rules/variations you need!

โšฝCall out a coloured gate and players can now only dribble through those gates. โšฝCall out a skill to perform every time they get to a gate (ie a turn with the inside or outside of the foot, 5 toe taps, etc).


โšฝPlayers work in pairs and instead of dribbling through the gates they pass through the gate to their partner on the other side.


โšฝDecrease or increase the width of the gates.
