Set up as shown with a goal at each end. Play 3 v 3.
Each team elects a goal keeper. This player is allowed to use his hands when saving a shot. He must also go forward as an outfield player during attacks on the opposing goal. Rotate keepers every two minutes.
When a player gets the ball in the opposition's half, he should try to dribble past them. Award 3 points for fakes past the defender and 5 points for every goal. The first team to 21 wins.
Allow the players to pick scores for different skills.
Attack the space behind and to the side of the defender.
Use fakes and moves to go past defenders. Change direction and speed with quick turns.
