In this game, each player is his own team. Players win by being the last player to score without being knocked out. To play: one player starts in goal, other players line up to shoot. Coach passes ball into player who can take one touch then shoots. If the player scores, he goes to the back of the line to shoot again. The goalie is then "knocked out" If the goalie saves the ball, the shooter takes his place in goal anmd the goalie moves to the back of the line. If the shooter misses the goal, the shooter takes the goalie's place and the goalie moves to the back of the line. If a player has been "knocked out" he goes behind the net (or to either side). If a "knocked out" player catches a missed shot while it is in the air, the player gets back into the game and proceeds to the end of the line.
Variations: add a cone (defender) that the attacking player must make a move around prior to finishing.
