Passing through gate with runs around cones/hurdles/etc. -- 2 minute games or specific # of accurate passes. Teams must count out loud the number of accurate passes or they are disqualified.

Lean-Fall-Runs (LFR) "Gravity Runs" -- Teach technique and two start variations and then get back into teams and compete on LFR agility course.
Water Break: 11am-11:05am Coaches re-evaluate teams to make them fair and competitive.
Age Group Games: 11:05am-11:30am
Break up teams into 3 different age groups and play 4 goal games with passing option to score goals, i.e. 4 passes also = one goal. I call this "skill theme games" passing is the skill topic of the day so we add in extra points for executing this skill during competition.
