Even number of players, into two teams, blue and white. 2 goals, cones in the half way lineline.
Space 30wx36L.
Each player outside has a ball.
Instructions:
Player on blue starts with the ball. Player on red defends.
Player on offense has to attack the opponents goal. If defender steals the ball, he can go to goal or pass back to one of his teammates to create a 2v1. If blue steals the ball, he can pass back and create a 3v2. This is ongoing until it is 5v5. In these cases, the last player that touches trhe ball is the one that stays to defend the next attacker.
Whoever scores, stays in the game.
The opponent waiting in line with the ball comes in and attacks the defender.
If ball goes out of bounds, on white's half, blue stays in and another white attacks the current blue player.
The team with the most goals wins.
