2 + 4 vs 2 + 4

Pitch: Mark out an area of about 15 x 30 metres with four cones and set up a goal in the centre of each short side. Two further cones mark the middle of the area on the sides.

Equipment: 6 cones, 2 goals, bibs in two colours, balls.

Players: Two teams as well as two goalkeepers. Each team has 2 players inside the area; the other 4 stand as wall players outside the area around the opposition half.

• The two teams play against each other and try to score in the opposition goal.
• Only one player at a time may enter the opposition half.
• The 4 wall players may only play first time and may not score themselves.
• The goalkeeper may not play the ball over the halfway line.

Variations:

• Apart from the goalkeeper everyone has to play first time; in return both attackers may then go into the opposition half.
• Goals from the opposition half count once and goals from the team's own half count three times.
