PROGRESSION
I play this game normally 4v4 but I have played it with up
to 8 a side for U18s. The idea is for the teams to score in
any of the 3 goals, however behind the goals there is one
extra person. They do not touch the ball but run behind the
line of the three goals. If they are standing behind a
specific goal, the other team can’t score into that goal. For
the younger players we use coaches behind the goals as
the kids love to work them by making them run and run as
play is switched from side to side. Basically the better the
game is played the more the coaches have to run and
sweat, much to the amusement of the kids. If the ball goes
out of play it can either be dribbled, passed or thrown onto
the pitch. For the younger age groups we dribble the ball
on and for the older age groups we usually pass the ball
on.
