Game with 2 teams. Both teams have two goals to score in.
This is to encourage teams to get the ball out of congested areas into the open spaces.
Play 5 vs 5 in a 23m area (width of the full pitch and the length of a 23 metre area).

It is very important for the team in possession to keep moving the ball.
