3v3 Keep-or-Go Game — Five Passes or Attack the Gate

Set up a 25×18m area with 2 gates (2 cones 1.5m apart) at each end. 3v3. Teams can score by completing 5 consecutive passes (1 point) or dribbling through a gate (2 points). If the ball is lost, the count resets. If the ball goes out, restart with a pass. 3-minute games, rotate opponents.

1. Decide quickly — keep the ball if the gate is blocked, go if it's open. 2. Don't force the gate — if the defender blocks it, recycle possession. 3. The 5-pass option rewards patience — don't rush forward. 4. When you see the gate open, play quickly — don't hesitate. 5. Support the ball carrier — create options for the pass or the dribble. 6. Defenders: block the gate first, then press the ball — force them to pass.

• Increase to 7 passes for 1 point — more patience required.
• Remove the pass-scoring option — only gate goals count.

• Reduce to 3 passes for 1 point — easier to score.
• Make the gates wider (2m) — easier to dribble through.
