Station 1: Chess (Reed) 2 Goalies
-Directions: On coach's whistle, each team must send in a predetermined number of girls (1-5). Each number must be used before a number can be repeated. Girls will be forced to communicate, look to create 2v1 situations, look to create doubles, call pressure/cover, communicate, cut/create passing options/space. If goalie clears ball between cones and out of bounds, it is defensive team's ball. If not between cones but out of bounds, the attacking team gets a side-in.
