Organization:
Area: 18y x 15y
Set up field with three-yard-wide gates in each corner. Attackers on one side of the field, defenders on the other side. The 2v2 starts with a pass from one attacker to the other. The attackers scoring by dribbling the ball through one of the two gates. The defenders can do the same after winning the ball; score by dribbling through one of the two gates. Switch sides after each turn. A turn is over when a goal is scored, or the ball goes over the endline. When the ball goes over the sideline, play restarts with a dribble or pass.
Game: Players keep track of the amount of goal scored, individually or as a team.
Variation: The defenders start the 2v2 with a pass to an attacker.
