Gate Dash
Also called Dribble for Goal (the training version)
Gates dribbled through cleanly in 60 seconds. Set a baseline, then beat it.
Set up
- Set up 5 gates and a 60-second timer.
Garden, park.
How to play
- Count every gate you dribble cleanly through, in control, not kicked.
- Have 3 goes and note your best as your baseline.
- Then beat it.
Make it easier
Make it harder
- Shrink and survive: halve your box and add a chin-up rule, never looking straight down at the ball. Dribble for 60 seconds without the ball leaving the tiny box or running away from you once.
Three things to say
- Head up to spot the next gate before you reach this one. That's the secret.
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
Baseline and best, with the date. Only ever compared with your own earlier go, never with anyone else. Saved on this device only.
