I have a squad of about 22 men and half a field!

I have a squad of about 22 men who play at a pretty high level. However we only have the use of half a field as we share the astro with others. Not ideal. Need some advice to keep everyone busy and interested. Do I split the guys into 4 or 5 stations and rotate them? If so, what stations would you recommend and how long at each station? Your advice on this would be appreciated a.s.a.p. Thank you
