Each goal has a Goal Keeper. Place four cones as shown. Attackers start on the two cones on the halfway line, one defender in each half. Play starts when coach plays a ball to one of the attackers, who then go either goal. Defenders try and stop attackers. If they win the ball, defenders can work together to make 4 passes in a row, which will count as a goal for the defenders. Attackers score by scoring in either goal. Rotate with next four players and play again.
