4 v 4 / 8 v 8 + 2 floaters
Organisation:
2 teams of 8 players
The playing area is marked out into two zones and four small goals at the corners.
Procedure:
A 4 v 4 game in each zone (1 or 2 touches). The neutral “floater” has 1 touch only. A point is scored after 6 passes are made by one team (not counting balls played by the floater).
The players then play 8 v 8 on the whole playing area, with the neutral floaters each remaining in one zone, 1 point is scored after 10 passes.
Variation:
Can be played with small goals - after 6 passes, a goal can be scored in any of the four small goals. - One team defends 2 of the goals and attacks the other two goals.
