EXPLANATION

4 gates (pairs of cone goals) distributed around field (shown here in wide channels) – in order for a team to score, it must dribble or pass through 2 of the gates in either direction

If the opponent gains possession, they also must go through 2 gates – change of possession, resets the count

PROGRESSION

Adjust # of gates

Require pass only or dribble only

COACHING POINTS

Attacking team – let the ball do the work – use teammates to quickly move through the gates once in possession, try to create shape where 1 pass will result in a gate – try to be expansive

Defenders – stay close to opposing players, recognize and anticipate ball movement
