Organization:

Divide the team into groups. Station a group at each post and three groups at the 18 yard line. Balls with coach at top of 18, in the D. Three small goals on 18, goalie in the goal. Three defenders in the six yard box, eight yards apart. Three attackers placed 12 yards from goal, eight yards apart. Coach passes the ball to one of the attackers and 3v3 starts. Attackers score on large goal. Defenders on the three small goals. Game ends after a goal is scored, or after 45 seconds. Coach brings in the new ball when it goes out of bounds. Passes the ball to the attackers. Attackers ask for the ball. After a goal is scored or 45 seconds, players switch roles.

Variation: Same but with two attackers and defenders.
