Set up a line of cones, creating gates. If there isn’t much space, then set up 2 individual lines parallel to each other. Get the children into pairs. The idea is to pass the ball through their gate to their partner. If they manage this, they get 1 point. Start the children close together, then if they make 5 successful passes, they can take 1 or 2 steps backwards. Teams can get a bonus point if they manage to control the ball properly using the correct technique.
