Two teams(blue vs red). There is 5 players in each team. Each player has to mark a player from the opposite team except the goal keepers. Before a team can score, they need to pass to their team mates 5 times. if a team scores they need to run back to their own goal touch their cross bar so it gives the opposite team a chance of scoring.
