The five attackers start with two wingers, a center forward and two midfielders. Three backs start on the 18 yard line. The attacking midfielder passes the ball to a winger to start the 5v3. When the ball goes over the sideline, the attackers throw the ball back in. The turn is over when the ball goes over the endline or a goal is scored. Play with the offside rule.
Variation: Change the width of the field. For example, use the width of the penalty box.
