Objective of the Practice:
This practice is designed to encourage quality short range passing and good support off the ball.
Field Preparation:
 Area 40 x 40 yards. Large group of players. Balls. Cones. Colored bibs.
Coaching Points:
An area is marked out approximately 40 yards by 40 yards. A large group and two defenders are positioned within the grid. Gates 1 yard apart are set up throughout the grid.
The object of this practice is for the group of players to keep possession of the ball and try to pass the ball through any of the gates. A goal is awarded for each pass through the gate. Players must be in a position to receive the ball through the gate. Passes made into space through the gate do not count. Players cannot score consecutively through the same gate.
Players in possession are awarded one goal for 10 consecutive passes.
Defenders must try to prevent the players from passing the ball through the gates. Rotate players so each player performs the role of the defender.
