GameFocus/principlesResetProgression
  1. Setup the pitch, size dependant on number playing
  2. Defending players aim is to break the press and get the ball high ASAP – thus eliminating the defensive midfield
  3. Score by passing the ball to the high player stood in the end zone
  4. If you want to include keepers then add a goal at the end and the player has to beat the keeper
  5. When a point is scored the conceding team get the ball and look to attack in the other direction
  6. When a player scores a point they are removed from the game for 10 seconds (creating an attacking overload) then replace the player in the high zone
