Get two people crossing the balls one at a time from each side so you get inswingers & outswingers. Start off with just one goalie & one defender and everyone else attackers.

Then repeat the process until they are a similar number of defenders as there are attackers.
Give attackers confidence in getting into spaces from a corners and defenders defending corners.
