Focus - Ball Literacy
Name of Game: Gates
Organization
The coach places cones throughout the training area in pairs. Make the gates different sizes.
Make sure that there are at least 3-4 more goals than the number of players participating.
The coach then challenges the players (for a set period of time 15-30 seconds) to get as
many goals as possible by moving through the cones in various ways e.g. running forward,
running backwards, ball stuffed up shirt, ball above the head, bouncing the ball, hopping,
skipping, dribbling.
Alternatives
Ask open ended questions as to how they could dribble through more gates. Ask them if they dribbled through more gates after following the advice given. Never ask them how many gates but strive to get more gates.
Try and dribble through consecutive gates, aline some gates.

What time is it Mr. Wolf? (10 mins)
Organization:
Each player has a ball and stands on one side of the grid opposite the
coach/wolf. The coach/wolf has their back to the players. The players ask Mr. Wolf “What
time is it, Mr. Wolf?” If Mr. Wolf says “8 o’clock,” the players dribble 8 steps forward, 6
o’clock, 6 steps forward, etc. If Mr. Wolf says “Its dinner time,” the Wolf attempts to tag the
players before they can get back to the starting line. If a player gets tagged they become a
wolf.
