5/6 grade 30 minute practice followed by 4 x 12 minute quarters

In case additional players are available from each team, form two teams using the extra players.

If there are less than 12 extras (Would make it 5 v 5 plus goalie)
Move to the 4 v 4 no goalie fields.
It is important that the children play rather than being subs.
At 4 x 12 minute quarters nobody should be winded enough to need a break.
If they do, just play a player down and adjust
