Place a cone about 25 yards from the goal. Split the team into 2 teams with alternate jerseys. Place a keeper in goal. The defending team starts near the goal with a large supply of balls. The attacking team starts at the 25-yard cone. The first defender plays a ball into the first attacker and steps out to defend. The attacker attempts to beat the defender. Award a point to the attacking team for each goal scored. After a goal or the defender wins the ball, the next defender plays into the next attacker. Each team attacks for 5 minutes and defends for 5 minutes. Team with highest goal count wins.
- •Offensive: attack with speed; quick explosion to get away; get behind defender; shoot at any half-chance
- •Defensive: close down quickly; force attacker to weak side; approach fast then slow down when near attacker (Fast-Slow-Outside-Low)
