SET UP

Two teams in normal game set up.
Objective for each team is to score goals.
Allow teams to choose their own formation. They can review this at each break.
Every time there is a foul, or if the ball goes out of play, the coach places a new ball onto the pitch for a self pass to restart the game. Call which team has the ball!
Encourage players to take the self pass themselves quickly, focusing on moving with the ball forward and fast.
Encourage the team to react to the self pass, repositioning themselves, making lead runs, being available for a pass, etc.
