Players start next to the goals. The game starts with an attacker dribbling the ball onto the field and shooting from halfway the field (1v0). After the shot, two players run out to receive a ball from the goalkeeper and then start a 2v1 into the opposite direction. Upon completion, two new players quickly run onto the field to make it a 3v2 in the other direction. Upon completion, one player runs onto the field to create a 3v3 game. The game is over when a team scores. The other team then starts the next round with the 1v0. When the ball goes out, restart play by dribbling or passing the ball back onto the field.
