Objective:

• To involve every player in a fun 2 vs 2 or 3 vs 3 game.
• To emphasize co-operation and skill development.

Organization:

• Group is split into two; if odd number, coach joins in or plays the strongest squad a player short.
• In the example shown, three players from each team play a normal on-the-field game.
• Also there are three players on each team as collective goalkeepers; positioned no more than two yards off each goal line and not allowed to handle ball.
• Goals only count if scored below knee height.
• Coach shouts "Change!" and on-field teams run back to goal line, without touching the ball again, to become the goalkeepers.
• Goalkeeping teams become the on-field teams and move quickly to win possession.
• Coach shouts "Change!" at any time.
• Make goals wide enough so that it's not too difficult to score.
• Any major infraction means a free shot from the half-way line, with no goalkeepers.
• Excellent game for a small gymnasium.

Teaching:

• Encourage players to pass frequently in order to create scoring chances.
• Encourage goalkeeping team to move sideways together, as a wall.
• Defenders should help each other and stay on their feet as much as possible.

Target:

• To outscore the opposition.
