Identify The Gap

Setup

You will require: 6 balls / 2 sets of bibs / 1 goal / 1 mini goal / 22 cones, Create a 25x20 area, 1 goal and goalkeeper, 2 defenders, attackers, coned gates lined up using different colors, a mini goal between the gates and the big goal

How it works

1v1 style, defender runs to a colored gate on his side, attacker must see the color and dribble through the other gate of the same color, attacker then attempts to score, mini goal is starting point for defender
