all players have ball within playing area.

gates of different colours around inside of area

equal number of gates to players.

all players have a ball and move freely around the area to start with getting as many touches as possible (dont use gates yet)

coach to introduce the gates to the session after a few minutes once players have a feel for the ball.

progression 1

blue = turn demonstrate a few different turns to players if they are unsure

yellow = toe taps or a different ball mastery skill

white = skill move e.g chop/scissors.

progression 2

reduce the number gates so players have to compete to get to a gate first. this will also make them scan the area for the free gate to go through.

challenge players to complete as many skills tricks and turns as they can in 60 seconds.
