Exploring the Trail

Set up

• Scatter cones across a 20 x 20 area.
• Build several coloured gates plus low red markers.

Play

1. 1Explore the area, eyes up.
2. 2Run through the coloured gates.
3. 3Jump the low red markers.
4. 4Coach calls a colour — find that gate.
5. 5Add a ball, then a pass and move.

Say

• “Eyes up.”
• “Two hands on the ball.”
• “Move after your pass.”

Level up

Carry the ball, find the called gate, pass to a partner or coach, then keep moving.

30 pups

Lots of gates spread wide so nobody queues; teacher takes one side.

Safety

Low markers only — safe jumps.
