Up together gates

How it works

1. Defenders stand on a cone line. Attackers start 15m away with a ball.
2. When the attack starts, the defender in the middle shouts “up!” and the whole line moves forward together to the 5m cones.
3. Then they play touch. Count how many times the line arrives at the cones together.

Coaching points

• One trigger word, one caller. Everyone moves on “up”.
• Nobody runs ahead of the line. A dog leg is a gap.
• After the touch, everyone gets back into line quickly.

Ready for the next level when: The line moves up together on the call nearly every time.
