- Players dribble around the area and try to find a gate
- They must dribble through the gate and do one of the 3 previous turns back through the gate to win a point
- 2 minute sets - most points win!
- Dribbling technique - small touches with laces, keeping the ball close, eyes up, outside-inside to change direction
- Find space, check shoulder before turning
- Pull back - plant one foot next to the ball, place sole of the other foot on the ball, drag ball backwards with sole, twist hips and accelerate in the other direction
- Outside cut - plant one foot next to the ball, push the ball backwards with outside of the foot, twist hips and accelerate in the other direction
- Inside cut - plant one foot next to the ball, push the ball backwards with inside of the foot, twist hips and accelerate in the other direction
