Beat the Gate
Score points by beating the grown-up and dribbling through the gate they're guarding.
Two markers make the gate the grown-up guards; a point for every clean dribble through it.
Set up
- Make a gate with two markers. The grown-up guards it.
Garden, park.
How to play
- Dribble at the gate, beat the grown-up and go through.
- A point for every clean gate.
- Swap roles.
Make it easier
Make it harder
- Narrower gate.
- Practice foot only.
Three things to say
- Change direction when they commit.
Colts habit
Work hard: little and often beats one long go.
Both feet
Do a round with the practice foot only.
Heads up
Look up between touches.
Safety: Pick a clear, flat space, look out for traffic and hazards, and stop if anything hurts. Soft ball indoors.
My best
Gates in 90 seconds. Last time and this time. Only ever compared with your own earlier go, never with anyone else. Saved on this device only.
