Set up 5 yard channels along each sideline. Play 3 v 3 in the larger area with a goalkeeper. Station one player in each channel.
The object of the game is to get the ball to your wide player as quickly as possible. As soon as the wide player receives the ball he sprints the distance to the goal line and crosses the ball in towards the goal to his teammates who are attacking the near and far posts.
When the wide player receives the ball, the nearest defender may enter the channel one disc behind where the ball crossed the line. The defender pursues the wide player down the channel.
