set up 1v1s, 2v1s, 1v2s on both sides of the court with a goalie in net if possible. during this drill, stop the players if needed to discuss positioning.
to spice things up you can the players (1v1) race for the ball and who ever gets there first is the attacker..
you can also have spare attackers or defenders on the side waiting to join in on the action. When you call them to join make sure to specify if they are joining the attack (now the original attacker has an option to pass or take on the defender 1v1) OR joining the defence (now the defence have to decide if they will rush the attacker or if they will angle them away out of the danger zone)
