Offensive Students

Defensive Students

Warm-Up Activity

Chinese Gates:

Rules:

1) Must run through the cones depicting gates.

2) When tagged must return to the beginning.

3) When you pass ALL sets of gates a point is scored for your team.

4) Teams will rotate being defensive team.

Overview:

- Students are broken up into four groups. 

  1. -There are three levels of gates.

  2. -First level has 2 gates and 1 defender, second level, 3 gates and 2 defenders, and third level has 4 gates and 3 defenders (these numbers can change depending on class numbers, just ensure there is one less defender then gate number).

  3. -If you get through all levels then your team scores a point.  If you are tagged you return to the beginning  (continuos movement).

  4. -The idea is to get teams working together on strategies about how they will get the most people through the gates (communication, decoys, fakes).


Modifications and Progressions:

- Make cones wider

- Less defenders at end

- More players on teams.

- Start walking, speed walking, running.

  1. -Move teams around so all have a turn playing defense (see video example below).
