Set out area and make an endzone 5 yards wide from the endline. Play 3 v 3. Repeat in another area for a total of 12 players.
Each team elects a goal keeper. This player is allowed to use his hands in the defensive endzone. 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 oppositions half, he should try to dribble past them. Award 3 points for fakes past the defender; 5 points for every goal; first team to 21 wins.
Allow the players to pick scores for different skills.
