SET UP
Set up 2 goals in the middle of the field, back to back. Put 1-3 coaches on the outside. Put the group into 2 teams, and set up 4 lines of each color on the sideline. Coach rolls the ball out for the first 8 players, and its a live Ground ball. The winning team must make a pass to a coach first, before they can attack the goal. You will find most offensive opportunities occur on the wings. Play for 1 minute, then start a new group
