Skill (25 mins)

Adaptations (Progressions & Regressions): Player on inner part of the field passes the ball to the player on outer corner of the field who must control the ball and dribble through one of the two gates. For more sucess make gates wider and have the passers of the ball to play it slower into their feet to control easier. For more of a challenge make the gates more narrow and have the passer kick the ball harder to the recieving player,

Observe and look for directional touch in the direction away from defender into the space
