What You’ll Need1 football for each pair of Auskickers

A stack of different coloured cones

How to Set UpCreate ‘gates’ in the playing area by using two cones of the same colour placed a metre apart.

There should be at least one gate for every Auskick pair. Each pair starts at a different gate.

Gates allows NAB AFL Auskickers to practise handballing whilst improving their spatial awareness.

How to Play

STEP 1When you say “Go”, each pair handballs to each other three times, through their gate, then run to a vacant gate and perform three more handballs.

Then repeat.

After a pair handballs three times, try having the player without the ball run to another gate and find a new partner. The player with the ball stays at the gate. Swap this rule after a while so that the player with the ball leaves their partner and finds another gate.

Players with the ball must bounce while running to a new gate.

If you have enough different coloured cones, have a race to see which Auskickers can visit every different coloured gate.
