Football: Gate Attack

A fun game for all - all players are numbered (in the animation from 1-4).

The coach plays a pass straight down the middle of the two lines of players. As soon as they have made this pass they must call out a number.

The players whose number has been called out must sprint to try and win the ball. The player who is first to the ball can then turn and dribble to their side.

The team with the most balls at the end of the drill is the winner.

The object of the game is to dribble to each of the gates in the area. Once a pair reaches the gate, they must play the ball through the cones 3 times back and forth before moving onto the next gate.

If another ball is struck or a cone is moved 1 penalty point is occured. Score 3 points for each gate successfully negotiated.

The object of the game is for player 1 to lose his shadowing partner, player 2. Player 2 must dribble at speed, tracking player 1.

When the coach shouts out, "Who you gonna call?" The kids reply "Ghostbusters!" At this point everyone freezes.

The coach should gauge the distance between partners as a measurement of their success.

The coach calls out any of the four directions: Coke, 7 Up, Sprite or Pepsi.

The players must dribble their ball in the direction that the coach has called.

The coach can introduce other commands such as milkshake - kids do a forward roll, Sparkling water - All players link arms around the coach, Orange juice - all players hop on one leg.
