Conditioned game to encourage players to stay on the ball
Mark out several zones on a pitch and place a coned gate and two players in each zone.
All players must remain in their own zone
A team can pass between any zone
Goals can be scored at any time, however a multiplier is added depending on how many gates the ball has been through on the journey
If the team in posession gets through 1 gate and scores, the goal is doubled to 2 points.
0 gates = 1 goal
1 gate = 2 goals
2 gates = 3 goals
4 gates = 4 goals
5 gates = 5 goals
