Purpose
Encourages players to use a variety of skills and changes of directions to beat a defender
Set up
- 15-yard x 10-yard area
- 2 gates
- 1 goal
- 1 soccer ball per 2 players
How it works
The defenders will start with the ball in between the two gates and they will pass the ball to the attackers on the opposite side of the area next to the goal.
The attackers must dribble through the gates to score 3 points, if the defender steals the ball and scores in the goal the attacker started from they will get 1 point.
Swap the attacking team and defending team and keep track of the scores.
The team with the most points wins.
