Setup:
create a 35X45 yard field with two goals in either end with two goalkeeper in each goal. Split up the team into 3 teams of 4 players and give each team a color (Blue, Red, & Yellow).
Instructions:
To start, have the Yellow team attack against Blue team and the Red players start with two players at each of the two goals acting as neutral supporting players to both colors playing. If the Yellow team scores on the Blue team, the Yellow team has to quickly retrieve the ball from the goal and attack the goal on the opposite end-line. The Blue team steps off to become the supporting players along the outside while the Red team steps on the field to play against the Yellow team. Continue to rotate off the team getting scored on with the supporting team. The first team to 5 goals wins.
