Organization:
Area: 60y x 40y
The attackers start with two wingers, a center forward, and two midfielders. The defending team starts with four backs and one midfielder. The goalkeeper passes or throws the ball to one of the two attacking midfielders to start the game. Before being allowed to create a scoring chance, both wingers must get a touch on the ball. Regular rules. The turn is over when the ball goes over the endline or a goal is scored. After several minutes, switch positions. Emphasize moving the defenders from side to side by distributing to both sides of the field.
Game: Create two teams and keep track of the score.
