3v2 Flying Changes — Attack, Then Defend
A continuous 3v2 wave game in which the attacking group immediately becomes part of the next defensive action when possession changes or the attack ends. The format creates repeated high-speed transition decisions.

Organization
Use a 38x28m pitch with goals or mini-goals at both ends. Three attackers enter against two defenders. When the action ends, a new group attacks in the opposite direction and selected players from the previous wave must defend.
