Setup
Choose two evenly matched teams with players in preferred positions. Each team has a ball which starts with their (GK) on the opposing baselines.
Step 1
The idea is to progress down-court and score a goal at the other end. Both teams will be doing this at the same time.
Step 2
Initially in the defensive third, players will be defended by their direct opponent (GK by GS) & (GD by GA)
Step 3
However once the ball progresses towards centre court, players have two options:-

1. Provide a passing option for your team's attack

2. Defend the opposition's attack

Use smarts to work out where you will be most effective
Step 4
Both teams attempt to score. The first to score get a point. Keep score.

If an intercept is made, that ball becomes dead. The team still in possession continue until they have scored, missed or turned it over.

If nobody scores, no points awarded.
