Needed? 2 Goals, 2 Goalies, Cones, 12 Players, Balls How? 2 Goals are set up in the middle of a 25yd X 50yd area. One goalie in each goal. Two end zones 10 yd from the endlines are set up. Play 6 beat 6. A team can score on goal after "gaining possesion" by passing to a teammate in the endzone. The endzone is NOT a free space, so attackers and defenders are allowed to play the ball. The team with "possesion" can score on EITHER goal. The team without possesion must pass the ball to a teammate in the endzone in order to allow attack on goal. No players are restricted to any side or endzone. Play periods of 6 minutes. Why? Spreading the field, creative thinking, quick passing, tactical awareness
Team defense Goal scoring Think creatively Dynamic movement
