30 x 15 Yard Field, 2 teams of at least 4 players.
1 team starts as attackers, the others defenders.
One defender passes the ball into two attackers, the attackers work together and score a point by dribbling the ball under control over the endline.
If the defender wins the ball they can look to counter attack and dribble it over the opposite endline. If they do so they get a point.
After 10 attacks have the teams switch roles, make it a competition and count the # of goals scored by each team.
1. Take the space the defender gives you, when they commit pass the ball to the other attacker.
2. Be aggressive when you have a chance to score a goal, accellerate towards the goal. Bigger touches in space, if the defender closes you down control the ball.
