The five attackers start with two wingers, a center forward, and two attacking midfielders. The defending team starts with three backs and one midfielder. To begin play, the goalkeeper passes or throws the ball to one of the two attacking midfielders. Regular soccer rules apply. The defending team can score on the three small goals on the opposite end line. The turn is over when the ball goes over the endline or a goal is scored. After several minutes, switch positions.
Variation: Before shooting, the ball must be switched from one side to the other.
Game: Create two teams and keep track of the score.
