Meteors

The Rules

Teams play outnumbered possession – such as 4v2 or 3v1 – in each half.

The team in possession needs to create an opening to play an accurate long ball to the goalkeeper(s) in the end zone.

The team not in possession should position themselves on the edge of the end zone to stop the meteors reaching the goalkeeper(s) easily – let them work this out for themselves though.

Goals only count for balls that are hit over the defenders’ heads from behind the half-way line.

Play for a set time before rotating the attackers, defenders and goalkeepers.

Main Objectives

Improve long-lofted pass, defensive heading and goalkeeper catching under passive pressure.
