Dribbling Gates (20 mins)

Organization:

- See diagram for set-up and equipment

- Area 25 x 25

Activity

- Players dribble around the area.

- The coach will inform the group of which skill is to be used for example: Murphy, Scissors, Step Over, etc. On the coaches whistle the players use the cones as defenders and perform the skills on each whistle.

- After 1 minute the coach calls stop and changes the skill.

Progression

- 1 Minute Rounds

- Pair the players into 1v1 with 1 ball per group.

- The Coach will designate which player is on offense first.

- On the Coaches start the play on offense will go through as many gates a possible while the defensive player try to deny them. The offensive player must keep track of how many gates they successfully get through.

- At the end of the 1 minute the player switch roles and now the new offensive player try to win the round by successfully getting through more gates than her teammate did.

- Keep it competitive by playinng for sit-ups

- Pair the players into 1v1 with 1 ball per group.

Progression 2

- Now they are in team: same as above but the can use teammates to assist.

- Move from dribbling through gates to passing through gates for goals.

- Depending on the skill level you can add the player that passes through the gate must move to receive the ball again for the goal to count.

-accelerate/rwb into open spaces

-get head up to scan for space, gates, players
