Set up a field with one small goal and one large goal on a 20Y x 20Y field. The attacking team plays with a goalkeeper.

Two attackers and two defenders start from the end line, one defender is ready to join on the sideline.

An attacker dribbles the ball onto the field to start the 2v2 and try to score on the small goal. They cannot use the goalkeeper.

When the defenders win the ball, the defender on the sideline quickly comes on the field to create a 3v2 situation. The defenders try to score within 10 seconds on the large goal with goalkeeper.    

When the ball goes over the sideline, the two attackers can dribble or pass the ball back in. When the defenders have the ball, they must pass the ball back onto the field. 

Switch positions after each turn, or after 6 minutes.
