Small pitch, not bigger than two back-to-back 18 yard boxes. The game will be played within the width of the box as well. Three attackers in the penalty area, 3 defenders in the other box. The play always starts at GK's of the team in possession. They play out to the defenders who look to hit the attackers on the half turn to score. When one of the defenders plays in they can join the other attackers to create an overload in the attacking penalty area. Players look for quick combinations, clever touches and get their shots off in corners and on target with quality.
