Simple game with two teams of 3/4. Goals are scored by completing a pass to a teammate through the team's designated corner goal. Receiver of the goalscoring pass can then move on of the scoring cones onto a single stack. First team to get it to one pile wins. V2 - get rid of the cone scoring. Split the goals so teams are scoring diagonally.
-Runs off the ball - rotating circular movement - Quick ball movement - Taking advantage of small overload widow when opponent is out of the game V2 - how does the game change with opposite corner scoring? Need to decide when it's best to "go backwards".
