How it's set up

This fun activation develops close control, sharp turning, and explosive acceleration. Players dribble freely before reacting to enter a portal zone, perform a quick turn, and burst out with speed, encouraging tight touches, awareness, and confident movement in an energetic, game-based format. Make sure your players are making portal sounds when entering and exiting the areas to up the fun!
