Triangle Goal

1. Mark a 25 by 25 metre pitch. In the middle, put three poles in a triangle with sides of 4 metres. Each side of the triangle is a goal, so there are three.
2. Two teams of four to six, and one neutral keeper in a different colour who stands inside the triangle and guards all three goals. Nobody else may go into the triangle.
3. Both teams can score through any side, shooting from outside the triangle, below the top of the poles. Whoever has the ball attacks, and whoever wins it can shoot straight away.
4. After a goal or a save, the keeper rolls the ball out to the team that did not shoot. When the ball leaves the pitch, restart with a pass or a dribble in from where it went out.
5. Play rounds of 4 minutes. After each round, one player swaps with the keeper and the old keeper joins that player's team. With more than 13 players, set up a second pitch.

One keeper cannot face three goals at once. Whichever side the ball is on, the keeper turns to face it, and the side behind them opens up. So the player on the ball has a choice: shoot now through the side in front, where the keeper is waiting, or pass round the triangle to a teammate at an open side before the keeper can turn. That makes everyone look before the ball arrives: which way the keeper is facing, who is on the far side, and whether the pass round is quicker than the keeper. With no fixed direction, winning the ball means attacking at once, so the decision comes the moment the ball changes hands. Defenders have no goal to stand in front of, and choose between pressing the ball and covering the player waiting at the open side.
