Procedure
- The 2 attacking players from midfield start with the aim of scoring on the mini goal at the penalty area line.
- Upon the coach's command, a defender ("Yellow" or "Red") starts. Depending on the age group, play may or may not include offside.
- If the defender wins the ball, they can immediately make a deep pass to the halfway line goal, scoring 2 points for their defending group. Attackers only score 1 point for a goal.
- After the action, all participants return to their respective groups. The first team to score 10 goals wins, and the groups switch from attack to defense.
