Area – 60 x 40,
5 v 5 v 5 with five defenders holding a cone. This makes 10 v 5.
1. The teams are separated by colored vests.
2. Choose a defending team (yellow). All yellows are holding a cone.
3. The attacking teams (black & red) play possession. Once a defender wins possession of the ball, all defenders drop the cone.
4. The team that lost possession or has kicked the ball out of bounds has to pick up a cone that has been dropped before they are allowed to defend the ball.
