3 v 3 with Counter Attack

  • For the entire 3 mins of a round, one team alternately attacks the two 20m wide goals.
  • Two opponents defend the goal whilst the third is placed on the opposite side, waiting for a pass from their teammates.
  • After each attack the defenders have to rotate.
  • Once the ball has been lost by the attackers, they should tackle back immediately but never behind the centre line.
  • A goal is scored with a dribble across the goal line. Both teams may score.
  • Change the attacking and defending teams every 3 mins.
  • Free hits should be taken at least 3m from the goal line.
