Pitch: Four cones mark out the middle zone; there is a goal at each end.
Equipment: 2 goals, 4 cones and at least 1 ball.
Players: Two teams of seven — three players each in the middle and two each in attack and defence — plus two neutral players and two goalkeepers.
Procedure
- The game is 7 vs 7; the players always stay in their respective zones.
- The two neutral players may move freely through the zones and always play with the team in possession.
Tip
- The team in possession always has a numerical advantage; this has to be used to make the game wide.
- The defending team defends the space, but after winning the ball can immediately use the shifting numerical advantage for a quick counter.
