Gate Guard
A grown-up gently blocks gates. Score a point for every one you nip through in 90 seconds, then swap.
Five gates spread out; the grown-up blocks one at a time and you dribble through any other, counting gates in 90 seconds.
Set up
- Set up 5 gates. The grown-up stands ready to block.
Garden, park.
How to play
- Dribble through any gate the grown-up is not blocking.
- Score a point for every gate in 90 seconds.
- Swap roles.
Make it easier
Make it harder
- The grown-up may block two gates at once by standing between them.
Three things to say
- Look for the open gate, not the blocked one.
- Change direction early.
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.
