Use flat markers to create a small circle in the D. Select some children to be Ball Monsters. Other children are attackers + start outside the D with a ball. Attackers try to deposit their ball into the circle. Ball Monsters try to stop them and clear the balls outside the D. They can only go in the circle when no one else is in it. They can tackle attackers on their way to the circle. The ratio of non-monsters to Monsters should be about 3:1 or 4:1. Variations: If there's a GK: GK can be an additional Monster. Mixed abiliities: youngest players can't be tackled.
