Organization
Form a 20x15 meters rectangle using the markers. Place two small goals on the short sides. Form two small 4x5 meters penalty areas near the small goals using the markers. Create a 4 meters goal and place it centrally about 4 meters distant from the long sides. Divide players into 2 teams of 5 players using the vest. The defenders (red) stay in line with a ball for each player on the middle of the long side where there isn't the small goal. The strikers stay in line on the middle of the opposite side.
