Create a rectangular field with a mini goal on either end. In each corner of the field, create a zone where neutral players start as shown in the diagram. This game works best with five neutral players, one in each corner and one in the middle to start.
Separate the remaining players into two even teams. Team sizes may vary, however the best number to play is 3v3 Each team defends one of the mini goals.
In addition, once a team completes six passes a pass is given to the neutral player in the corner and he becomes ‘unlocked’ and is no longer restricted to his corner. This gives the player more freedom to help the offensive team in the middle score a goal.
