Play 6 v 6. Station goals angled into the area in the corners of the grid. 1 ball per practice.
The object of the game is to try to pass the ball between your team and score in any of the four goals. Players should be encouraged to spread out and find space throughout the practice.
Encourage players to pass then move into space. If a defender is in front of you, pass or dribble to a different goal. Try not to bunch around the ball.
Add rules such as players can score only in 2 goals at diagonals from each other or players can score only in 2 goals at one end.
