SETUP

1. Create an area up to 20m x 20m. Modify the size depending on the number of players

HOW TO PLAY

1. On your call of “Footbull Rush” the attackers attempt to dribble their ball past the defender in the middle of the pitch and stop on the opposite end line
2. The defender tries to tackle as many players as possible, or even kick their ball out of the area
3. If an attacker has their ball intercepted or taken from them they join the defender(s) in the middle of the pitch
4. The last attacker remaining wins the game
