Set out a pitch 3/4 length, with two lines of cones to make the pitch slightly narrower.
The white team in the middle has to try and score a goal at either end against either set of defenders to get out.
Every time the defence gets the ball they must give it back to the attackers who then have to attack the other side.
Defenders are only allowed to defend inside the 23 m area, the defenders at the other end are not allowed to defend past the 1/2 way line.
When the attackers score they become defenders and the team who conceded the goal become the new attacking side.
