Organisation

Cones are used to create a playing area, which is divided into 4 equal squares.
There's a small circle in the middle, which is also divided into four triangles, as shown.
Four small goals are located on the outside corners of the playing area and four sticks are placed in the middle of the sidelines.
Players work in four groups of three (or four if there's a resting player) and they are identified with three different colours.
There's an attacker, a defender and a supporting player.
The supporting player positions himself in his triangle during the 1v1. In case there is an intercepting, he can step in the play to create a 2v1 with the defender.
The roles are changed after each action in a determined way. 


Description and Graphics

The four groups act in their own squares.
The supporting player is placed in his triangle, the attacker and the defender are positioned in the middle of the square.
1v1 and 2v1 game situations evolve at the same time.
The game always starts for the coach' sign.
After his command the attacker sprints and passes round a determined stick (right or left side).
Meanwhile the defender does the same with his small goal.
Then the supporting player passes the ball to the attacker, who tries to beat the defender in 1v1.
If the attacker wins, he can score a goal.
In case the defender intercepts the ball, he must play the supporting player positioning himself in the small triangle.
When it's managed, the supporting player can step into the square and he can create a 2v1 situation with the defender against the attacker.
When they play out the attacker, one of them can score a goal.
In case the attacker regains the ball the game ends.

Four situations are illustrated.
