Set out as many gates as possible within the area (2 discs, 2 yards apart). Each player has a ball. Group in pairs.
Player 1 must dribble through as many gates as possible in a specified time limit. Player 2 must try and shadow his partner and each time he is able to kick his ball and it hits the ball of his partner, Player 1 loses a point. One point per gate.
Use the inside of the foot to hook the ball to the side when crossing through a gate.
Try to cover the ground between the gates as quickly as possible.
