For 6/9/12 Strikers A. Three teams of 2 (or 3) outfield players and one goalkeeper. Coach (and/or spare players) injects a ball into the D and play commences. A team can score in either of their opposition goals. If there are 8 or more have a 4th team who takes the place of the team who concedes. If there are 12 have 6 pairs and swap with your matching colour when they concede. B. Start with smaller teams and players/teams "sitting out". Progress to add more players to the area to make it increasingly crowded.
D is usually crowded. Easily 6-9 people in the D when you are trying to score. Not going to get goals with big hits from distance very often. Slap-shots and flicks. Passes and deflections.
