Use the penalty area of your pitch. We’ve used 14 players including goalkeepers. You need bibs, balls, cones and two small goals.
Split your players into three teams of four players and two keepers. Two teams are active and one is outside the area but can be used by the team with the ball to set up play. Each ‘match’ lasts for two minutes then the teams switch. Play so each team has three matches and see who has scored the most goals at the end.
There is a lot going on in the tight space of the penalty area. Attacking players must create space, while defenders must keep tight and try to block shots. You want to seee players passing, receiving and shooting in space they have created.
