conesballssmall goals

Description

Setup
A 20 by 15 yard area with a small goal at each end. Cones mark a halfway line. 2v2, one ball, spare balls beside each goal.
Play
Normal 2v2. Once you are over the halfway line, any sight of the goal means shoot. No dribbling past a defender when a shot is on.
Score
A goal counts 1. A shot taken within two touches of crossing halfway counts 2. Restart from your own goal line after every shot.
Harder
3v3, or only first-touch shots count double.
Easier
2v1 with the defender walking, or bigger goals.
