Four Goals, One Gate

Set up

Field

Use a cone-marked square with one small inward-facing goal centered on each side, plus a 5 x 5 yard pole or tall-cone square in the middle.

Players

8 or more players. Play two teams of four in different colors, with all eight players free to use the entire main square.

Balls

Use one live ball and keep spares around the outside so goals and balls out can be restarted immediately.

How it runs

1. 1.Start one team in possession anywhere in the square.
2. 2.Use all four teammates and the available width to keep the ball.
3. 3.Before scoring is allowed, complete one pass through the small central square.
4. 4.After that pass, attack whichever of the four goals is least protected.
5. 5.The defending team tries to block the central entry while preparing to protect all four goals if it is completed.

After each rep

After a goal or a ball out, restart with the team that did not score or did not put the ball out.

How to win

A finish into any of the four small goals counts only after the possession team has completed a pass through the central square.
