In this way there are three zones, the central one is the neutral (white in the figure). Players are divided into 3 teams of 3 members each, the goalkeeper is at the goal while three players are placed in the penalty area. The other 6 players divided into two teams are placed in the area away from the goal. The game begins with one team in the area away from the goal in possession of the ball.
