First Touch

Set up a triangle with cones 3 yards apart.

Two players one ball. Place as many triangles needed for your group.

  1. Players are allowed two touches.
  2. Players pass the ball through the gate, take first touch to the right/left, then pass through another gate.
  3. Players cannot pass through the gate the ball has come from.
  4. Select a triangle as Premier league down to what ever division or league you can go to. Have a competition with your players. If a player hits a cone, takes more than two touches or fails to pass through a gate, then the other player gets a point. After a few minutes, the winning player moves up to the next triangle and the losing player moves down one.
  5. If a player is at the top triangle and wins, or a player is at the bottom triangle and loses, then that player stays where they are. If a match is drawn, then whichever player won their last game moves up one.
