Escape Room: Corner Gates

Set up

Field

Use a 6x6 yard grid. Place three 1-yard gates on three sides of the corner area, with the middle gate set diagonally toward the opposite cone.

Players

4 or more players. Put 4 players at each grid. Station 3 players with balls at the diagonal gate. Place 1 player without a ball at the cone opposite them.

How it runs

1. 1.A player with a ball passes across to the player at the opposite cone, who receives inside the corner of the grid.
2. 2.As soon as the pass is made, the passer follows it into the area as the defender.
3. 3.The receiver tries to escape the corner by dribbling through one of the three gates.
4. 4.The receiver reads the pressure and chooses between a smaller control touch or a larger touch that carries the ball around the defender.

After each rep

Rotate the roles so everyone gets opportunities to attack and defend.

How to win

A point counts only when the player dribbles the ball through a gate; passing through does not score.
