15 Min	Fireball Start with one goal and a goalie. Divide the remaining players into two "teams". Place the teams on opposite sides of the field about 30 yards apart at the restraining line. Use cones to identify where the players should stand. Players should line the field from the mid line to X Give each player on each team a number: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. Now you're ready to start your game. Call out some numbers: "1,4,5". You can use any combination of numbers to achieve 2v2, 3v3, 4v4, etc. After calling out the numbers roll out a ball and blow the whistle. To gain possession a team must win the ground ball and pass to one of the non active players on the sideline. This is the "ground ball" phase of the drill. Now that you've established an offense (ground ball winner) and defense, the coach makes a pass to the offense. The offensive players must cut to get open. The defense must "mark up" in a man-to-man defense. Now it's just a normal scrimmage. The possession ends with either: (1) a goal, (2) a goalie save, or (3) a defensive clear back to the coach. Keep score to make it competitive for the two "teams".
