Setup

Eight players work on a 30 x 20 field, moving in pairs and passing through color gates to hit as many gates as they can.

1）Set up 6–8 color gates inside the field

2）Split into 4 pairs

3）Each pair takes one ball and keeps passing through the gates while staying on the move the whole time

4）The moment a player receives, they adjust their position and look for the next gate

5）The pair moves together so they always keep a good supporting distance

6）Challenge them to see how many gates they can hit in 3 minutes
