Needed? Goals (2), Balls, 2 Goalies, 12 field players.
How? Two goals are set up back to back in the middle of the 25-25 area. 6v6, Blue attacks the Orange Goalie, Red attacks the Black Goalie. The defending team must ALWAYS have one person on the attacking side. Goalies may help out with scoring!
Why? Outletting out of the backfield, transition from offense to defense, and speed of the gane.
