Set up: 30 X 30 yard field with 2 goals -- goal size (i.e., a pylon) and using keepers, optional 3 v 3 on field with all the other players surrounding the field. Outside players have extra balls It could be 4v4 or 2v2, but never more than 4.

Basic game. Coach serves ball in and players try to score. If ball is going out of bounds the outside players keep it in by playing it to an open space. This makes the game players work hard to gain control before it goes out. Outside players should have an extra ball in case they can't play the game ball (goes out too high) they toss in their ball. NO playing it to buddies. Must win to get out of the cage, so the losing team keeps playing. Make games quick - 5 minutes. And have the next team ready to rotate in.

Warning: The fitness can be tough. Much tougher to play than it is to read about.
