Organization:
Area: Half Field, less than full width.
The six attackers start with two wingers, a center forward and and three midfielders in a triangle. The five defenders play with three backs and two central midfielders. Regular soccer rules, but before being allowed to create a scoring chance, the attackers must get the ball to both wingers first. The turn is over when the ball goes over the endline or a goal is scored. After several minutes switch positions.
Game: Create two teams and keep track of the score.
