Defender: 2 pt for winning possession before attackers have all touched ball, 1pt for winning possession after they have all touched ball. 3pt for carrying ball to 25-yd line. Rotate defender every 3 attempts. Variations/progressions: if no GK, put a kit bag in middle of goal as an obstacle. defender just needs to touch ball with stick to win pts. mixed abilities: no tackling, only interception. 4v2
