1) FAAASST! With a confined playing area, everything is accelerated- players have to handle pressure, make quick decisions and be able to thread the needle with passes and shots. A 30 second shot clock keeps the game moving. 

2) Less down time. Missed shots and passes that hit the boards stay in play and reduce stoppages.  

3) Less players on the field equals more touches per game. Everyone plays both sides of the floor.  Increased participation equals more engagement and excitement. 

4) Smaller goals and no defense sticks force players to play with finesse and and technique forcing them to improve their fundamentals
