Mark a square (grid) on the pitch and players work in pairs. The size of the grid depend on the number of players participating in the activity, the age and the ability/level of the team. Create gates within the grid using markers. To score a point, players must make a pass through a gate to their partner. The players need to then run towards another gate and play continues like that.
Differentiation:
1. Easy for low to medium ability by:
(a) increasing the space of the gates, eg making them two metres rather than 1 metre;
(b) increasing the space of the grid
(c) placing the gates in a symetric way to make it easier for them to run and pass in the same direction.
2. High ability variations:
(a) Reduce gate size
(b) Limit the number of passes and touches from one gate to another;
(c) Place a defender in the grid to intercept passes made by high ability players / pairs.
(d) Perform a wall pass following the pass through the gate.
The player receiving the ball must be running for the return pass rather than being static on the other side of the gate.
Players need to communicate all the time
Keep distance between them to a limit
Open body position / movement to receive the ball from the partner.
