This small-sided game focuses on applying wall passes and up-back-through combinations in a game-like setting. The pitch is divided into thirds, with two mannequins on each defensive third line.

Teams are set up in a 1-3-1-3 formation when in possession, with three neutral players (N) acting as a centre-back, central midfielder, and striker. The defending team (Team B) adopts a 2-2 shape when out of possession.

The game takes place in the central zone (Zone B) and teams aim to progress into their attacking zone through combination play and score a goal beyond the mannequin line, which serves as an offside line.
When a team reaches their attacking zone, one teammate can join the attack while one defender drops, creating a 2v1 + GK situation for five seconds.

Neutral players cannot join the attack in Zone A or C.

WAYS TO SCORE

Connect five passes to earn one goal.

Progress into the end zone through a wall pass or up-back-through combination and score within five seconds to earn three goals.

Teams can accumulate up to four goals in a single possession by achieving both scoring criteria.
After scoring a goal, the team that scored restarts with a new ball using the neutral player closest to their goal or one of their teammates.

In case of a foul or ball going out of bounds, the opposing team begins with a new ball from the player nearest to their own goal.

This small-sided game encourages players to combine effectively, make use of wall passes and up-back-throughs, and showcases their ability to create scoring opportunities while maintaining possession and defensive organisation.
