3v2 plus 2

Description

Two defenders are positioned just outside the 18-yard box. The three yellow players start with the ball from the halfway line. As soon as the first player crosses the marker line, two more defenders join from behind to help the other two win the ball back. The attacking players try to score as quickly as possible. The defenders try to counter-attack towards the opposite goal after successfully winning the ball. Variation: Allow the other 2 defenders to wait longer before joining the play. For example, count down from 3 until the two players are allowed to leave their starting position.
