Equipment, Setup & Instructions
Equipment
  • Goal
  • Goalkeeper
  • Cones to define area and zones
  • Soccer balls
Setup
  1. Area: 30x25 yard area marked with cones
  2. Goals: One goal at one end of the area
  3. Team Blue: 4 blue outfield players start in their designated zone at the end of the area opposite the goal, acting as attackers

  5. Team Red GK: 1 yellow goalkeeper positioned on the goal line at the goal end of the area
  6. Equipment: Cones marking the corners of the 30x25 yard area and marking the separate starting zones for each team at the end opposite the goal
Instructions
  1. Teams decide the number of attackers and defenders in each round (1v1, 2v1, 3v2, 4v3).
  2. Attackers try to score against defenders, and a goal scores points based on the scenario.
  3. Following a goal or dead ball, players sprint back to starting positions.
  4. Deduct points for the last team returning to their zone.
  5. Play a set number of rounds, and the team with the highest points wins.
