3v3 Four-Goal Directional Game

3 BLUE vs 3 RED. Each team attacks TWO mini-goals on the opponent end line. Goals positioned wide. Key attacking behaviours: 1) create width, 2) ball carrier attracts pressure, 3) second player supports near the ball, 4) third player maintains opposite-side option, 5) recognise defender movement, 6) circulate or combine, 7) attack the less-protected goal. The third player is essential. After turnover: direction reverses immediately. Continuous game.

Use all three players — the ball carrier attracts pressure, the second supports near, and the third holds the opposite side as the switch option. Attract defenders toward one goal, then transfer to the free goal on the opposite side before the block recovers. The third player is essential — without opposite-side support there is no switch to attack. Scan both goals before receiving so the decision to play or switch is already made. Keep width on both sides throughout possession — narrow play lets one defender cover two goals.
