Organization:
Mark out a 35 x 25 yard field
Divide players into three groups of four (A,B,C)

If the attackers lose the ball, then the team that made the mistake switches roles with the defending team
Players can be limited to two or three touches
Key Coaching Points:
Attackers work on when to pass forward and when to keep possession
Supporting players should maintain proper angle and distance, and be aware of position relative to the ball (ahead, behind, square)
