Squad split into two groups, one per pitch.
Preferably 3v3 +1 neutral per pitch. Neutral player (red in diagram to left) helps attackers.
Defending team (green) need to establish who will be the first defender (to attack the ball), must try and gain and keep possession as opposed to just dispossessing oppo. Task for defence is to score in one of two small goals. Attacking team (blue) aim to score in big goal. Switch every three minutes. New neutral player in each three minute session.
How quickly can you get to teh attacker? Body shape when approaching. Don't dive in.
