This drill is designed to simply work on skills and dribbling ability. Each player starts with a ball, attempting to dribble through the opposition gate and claim a point. After doing so they are free to retrieve another ball and start the process again, until there are no more balls remaining. However, players can defend their gates as well. Meaning that if a player is attempting to dribble, the opposing player can make a tackle to try and win that ball. One point per each ball through the gate, most points wins.
