3v3 Jamboree

Objective:

Target:

To enjoy the sheer fun of pure soccer with plenty of opportunities to get touches of the ball and score goals.

Organization

Any number of players above 11 can create a Jamboree atmosphere.
If less than 12 set up make up three teams of 3 or 4 players. Have a second activity area as one team waits for their turn to play.
Unlike the Micro Soccer Jamboree there are no goalkeepers. Goals only count below knee height.
Put in two or three fields depending on numbers.
With more than one field synchronize the play.
The time-keeper starts the game for everyone with a long whistle, and signals the end of the quarters and the end of the games.
One long blast signals the start of play.
A short blast signals the end of each quarter.
After the end of each quarter the substitutions/rotations take place and the game is recommenced as quickly as possible without a signal from the time-keeper.
Restart with an indirect free kick from the part of the field where the period ended with the kick taken by the team that was in possession.
A short blast, followed by a long blast signifies the end of the game at the conclusion of the fourth quarter.
Play 4-periods of two minutes.
Try not to have more than 4 players on a team.
With 4, at the end of each period, the sub comes on and one player goes off. After 4-periods each player should have played have played 3 of the 4 quarters.
