Organization:
Area: 12y x 7y
Set up a narrow field with two small goals facing the opposite way, so that the attacker has to go around the small goals in order to score. The attacker can score on either small goal. The coach starts each turn with a 50-50 played out from the end line. For the first couple of minutes, the coach can pass the ball a little bit to the left or to the right, to give one player a slight advantage. After each turn, players switch lines. After several turns, players then match up against a different opponent.
