1 GK, 3 teams of 3. Aim of the game is to try and score.
GK passes ball to attacking team. On the first touch defenders become active. Attacking 3 players have to try get the ball forward between them to score. If they dribble through a gate, they get 5 points. If they cross the ball from the wing, they get 5 points. If the score from the cross, they get another 5 points. If defenders get the ball, they have to kick it to the team waiting to attack next. They will get 3 points.
After the attack finishes, attackers become the defenders, the defending team go to the attacking que and the team waiting now become the attackers.
