2v2 game to four goals with end players.
End players are positioned between the goals at the attacking end. These players don't have to be used for scoring, but they provide one additional passing option.
As a variation, you can play so that when the end player receives the ball, they can join the game, creating a 3v2 situation on the field.
Quality factors
Situation recognition – Players must recognize when it's most beneficial to use the end players and when to advance directly towards goal or pass to another player.
