Variations
This game can start out a number of different ways depending on what you are working on. You can begin with a player coming from each goal to play
- 1v1 You can begin with a player coming from each goal to play. Whoever scores on the 1v1 will send out the next player to create a 2v1.
- 2v1 The attacking team starts with 2 players and the defending team sends out one defender
- 2v1 With A Target: The attacking team sends out a target player and begins with a defender on her back. The ball starts from the post with a pass up to the target player and that player follows her pass to create the 2v1.
- 3v2 With A Target: Same set up as the 2v1
