Set-up:
20 x 30 yard grid with an area 4-5 yards wide designated as an end-zone (marked with cones). 6 players. Two sets of colored bibs. Flags to create mini goals at each end. Repeat set-up to accommodate entire team of 18 players.
Objective:

Progressions:
Award 3 points for a goal, 2 for beating an opponent and 1 for turning on an opponent.
