  • Divide kids into teams
  • On field its 8v8 running a 2-3-2
  • You have 20 seconds to clear and 10 seconds to get it in the box
  • Start with a face-off and after each goal we do a face-off
  • Once a team gains possession a player can run with the ball only for 3-5 seconds. Then the player must pass the ball to a teammate.
  • Focus is on quick passes
  • If the player with the ball fails to pass in 3-5 seconds, the coach blows the whistle and possession changes
