The objective is to Enhance goalkeeping skills, quick decision-making, and teamwork under high-pressure conditions. Each team consists of three field players and one goalkeeper. One extra player stands at the halfway mark to alternate passing.

Start playing: At the halfway mark, the extra player passes to one of the goalkeepers to initiate play. The goalkeeper then passes to their team to start a new ball.
