Split the group into 2 teams.
Play on half pitch with one team (attackers) playing towards the goal and the other (defenders) defending it.
The aim is for the attacking team to score as many goals as possible in the allocated time (5 mins), starting from the centre of the halfway line.
The defenders must try to gain possession and clear the ball off the side of the pitch, making it a dead ball. Once the ball is dead the attacking team re-start from the half way line with a new ball.
Once the 5 mins is over the teams swap roles.
The team that scores the most goals wins!
