Use in creator8v4 3 team game. (Barcelona Game). Set up three teams of 4 in different bibs Two teams attack the goals and play against each other. The third team acts as neutral team and plays for who ever has possession of the ball. Relax when we have the ball. You have a massive overload. Spot the opportunities to play one touch. Progression Teams play 8v4 with defending team needing to win the ball and then being able to attack the team which had possession must then defend.
