2 v 2 up and down:

First set out some 2 vs 2 pitches consisting of 2 goals, 15 to 20m apart with each goal being 1 stick length wide.

Once the pitches are laid out, number the pitches 1,2,3,4, etc with 4 players and one ball per pitch.

The aim of the game is to try and score goals from about 2m out.

The length of the game is approximately 2-3 minutes long and starts on the first whistle and stopped by the second whistle.
