Crossing Game
The Game
Designate a "channel" on each side of the field.
One player from each team is allowed to go into the channel.
If the ball is played into the channel, the player can dribble, without being defended, and serve the ball into the box.
Progress by allowing the "server" to defend in the channel, but, at the same time, allow a teammate to support inside the channel as well.
