1v1 to gates
Pairs play 1v1: the attacker scores by dribbling through any of several small gates. Lots of 1v1s, no queues, easy to adapt.

Find the space: 3v1 keep-ball
Three attackers keep the ball from one defender in a small box. The two without the ball must keep moving so the player on the ball always has a pass.

4v4 end-zone game
A small-sided game where teams score by dribbling or passing into the opponents' end zone. Every player attacks, defends and makes decisions.
