This game can be played with almost any number of players.
In this game the pitch is 50 metres long, split into two 15 metre shooting zones (at both ends) with a 20 metre mid-section.
Players are allowed in all areas of the pitch but are only allowed to shoot outside of the 15 metre area.
This game forces your players to shoot from distance and will encourage them to take their chances (or to have a pop) when given the opportunity in their next game.
Players should pass and move as usual.
