3 on 2 continuous (15 mins)

3 on 2 continuous

Set up

3 teams, 2 defenders on front of each net and 3 players in the middle. Keepers in the nets or if you don't have enough keepers, use pugs or a small goal made with cones.

Details

3 blue attack 2 red. When the ball crosses half, the red on the side sprints to the middle of the field at the half line, touches the ground and then joins the defense as a recovery defender.

If blue score, they get a point, if not (either red win the ball, shot misses target or shot is saved) the 3 red attack the 2 black and the same happens going the other way. 2 of the 3 blue stay on d and 1 goes to the sideline to become the new recovery defender.

If you have more than 3 teams of 3, simply have the extra players in a cue in the sideline. You can go with as many as you need but this does work best with no more than teams of 5.
