Teams are split into two, one attacking, one defending with a GK. Six balls are placed around the penalty area, two equally positioned around the area. Defensive team has to start inside the box and can not move outside until the ball is initiated by the attacking team. Taking one ball at a time the attacking team try to score by whatever means they wish. Every player on the attacking team must initiate at least one play. If the ball is captured by the GK or goes out of the penalty area, it is classed as "dead" and play is restarted from initial starting positions, with another ball. When all six balls are used up, the teams are swapped and the game is restarted. The team who scores the most goals (out of six) is the winner.
Try to encourage the attacking/defending teams to discuss a "plan" between each play to try and deceive the other side. Encourage different styles of attack - early shot, dribble, pass etc.
