Description

Setup
A 30 by 40 yard area with a 6 yard end zone at each end. 4v4 plus one neutral player who always attacks.
Play
Score by receiving a pass inside the end zone. The run into the zone must start before the pass is played, and the ball must be played into space, not to feet.
Score
A goal counts 1. A goal from a first-time pass played behind the last defender counts 2.
Harder
Offside applies at the end zone line. Two touches maximum.
Easier
5v4 with two neutrals, or a bigger end zone.
