Goal vs End Zone

1. Mark a pitch about 30 metres long and 20 wide. At one end put a goal; at the other, mark an end zone 3 metres deep across the full width.
2. Four against four, plus a goalkeeper in the goal, who always plays for the team defending it.
3. The goal team scores by shooting into the goal. The zone team scores by dribbling the ball into the end zone, or by passing to a teammate who runs into the zone and stops the ball there. Nobody may wait in the zone.
4. Whoever scores keeps the ball and starts again from its own end.
5. Play rounds of four minutes. Then the teams swap targets, and a different player takes a turn in goal.

The two teams face different problems. The zone team has a whole line to attack and has to choose: dribble in, or slide a pass for a teammate arriving in the zone. The runner has to time the run so that player and ball get there together. The goal team has one small target with a keeper in it, so it has to work out when a shot is really on. When the ball changes hands, both teams swap problems in a second.
