Form a 40x30 meters pitch with goals and goalkeepers on the short sides. Split players into 2 teams (white and red vests in the picture). Place 2 cones in the middle of the long sides to outline the halfway line. White team starts from one side, red team from the opposite one.
- To the coach's signal 3 white players enter the pitch with a ball, becoming strikers
- 2 red players enter the pitch as defenders
- If the attacking team scores a goal, the coach throws in another ball and strikers have to attack the opposite goal. Red defenders leave the pitch moving to their line and 2 new red players enter the pitch to defend the goal
- If strikers don't succeed in scoring a goal, they exit the field and the 2 defenders become strikers with another red player in addition who enters the field at maximum speed
