Set out end zones 5 yards wide from each end line. Play 6 v 6. 1 ball per group.
One team starts in possession of the ball. The object of the game is to advance the ball to the attacking end zone. A goal is scored when a player dribbles the ball into the end zone and stops the ball with the sole of his foot. No defenders are allowed in this area.
Encourage players to take on defenders at every opportunity. Look for switching of the direction of play in the progression.
Make end zones neutral such that either team can score in both end zones.
