Set up field, 15 x 20 yards with small goal at each end. Have three players, each with a ball at each goal. One player from each end comes out, one ball. Play 1v1. When a goal is scored or the ball goes over the end line, the defender from that side steps off and a new player from that end steps on with a ball. The attacking player stays on and should defend the player coming on with the ball.

Variations

• Play 2v2, 3v3, 4v4, 5v5.
• You need to have at least two teams at each end.
• There shouldn’t be more than three
• Play with large goals if you have goalkeepers
