Equipment, Setup & Instructions
Equipment
- Soccer balls

Setup
- Area: 20x20 yard rectangular channel marked with cones.
- Group: 2 red outfield players positioned in two equal lines facing each other along the two long sides of the channel, each holding a ball.
- Neutral: 1 black runner positioned at the top of the channel, ready to sprint through to the other end.
