PASS TO WIN
> Set out a number of coloured gates inside the playing area .
> Divide players into pairs – this game can cater for a larger number of players .
> To score a point players have to pass the ball through a gate to the other player in their pair .
> Once players have scored in one gate they then have to score in another gate before they come back to this one ( players will find this as a loop hole if you don ’ t include the rule from the start ).
> Play for a set period of time , can either of the teams of the pairs beat their score ?
> You could add in a ‘ golden gate ’ somewhere on the pitch which is worth more points or give the game a theme e . g . a shopping trip , link cones to healthy food , e . g . blue cones are blueberries , red are strawberries .
> Change the game by splitting players into teams , players have to try and pass to their team as well as stealing balls from the opposition
