1. Requirements

At least 9 players
3 goals (small or large goals, depending on the availability of goalkeepers)
Number of balls

2. Organisation

Place the three goals so that the distances between them are equal.
Adjust the size of the playing field based on the number of players and their level.
Divide the players into three teams.

3. Description

Game situation:
Each team has its own goal to defend.

Attack and defence:
When a team attacks a particular goal, the third team forms an alliance with the defending team.
Allies defend together against the attacking team.

Example:
The green and black teams work together to defend their goals against the attacking red team.
When the ball is intercepted, the situation changes: the team in possession switches to attack and alliances change.

Scoring system:
When a team scores a goal, the attacking team and their allies receive one point per team (e.g. 1 – 1 – 0).

Special features:

Playing behind the goals is allowed to limit ball loss and keep the game dynamic.
No goalkeepers available? Use smaller goals or alternatives such as cone goals.

Variation:
As described above, the defending team is always in the majority because they get allies.
The situation can also be reversed, with the team in possession of the ball gaining an ally.

4. Coaching and Focus Points

Coaching:
Technical focus: Encourage ball control, accurate passing and ball recovery.
Tactical focus: Teach players to switch quickly between attack and defence. Encourage players to consciously look for space and use it.
Communication: Encourage players to talk actively and coach each other during the game.

Points of attention:
Adjust the size of the field to balance challenge and overview.
Ensure a dynamic but safe distance between the goals.
Variation: Try different team formations and formats (e.g. 4v4v4 or 3v3v3) to keep players flexible.

Purpose of the exercise:
This exercise encourages quick transitions, tactical awareness, and teamwork. It creates a competitive and educational playing environment where players must constantly anticipate changing situations.
