Three-Team Rotation Game

Sustained intensity through competition — every goal conceded has an immediate consequence.

Three equal teams in different bibs. Two play a normal game; the third waits behind a goal.

1. Two teams play; the first to concede leaves and the waiting team sprints on.
2. The scoring team keeps the ball and attacks immediately against the new team — no break.
3. If no goal in three minutes, the team that's been on longest rotates off.
4. Track wins; the team with most 'stays' wins the session.

• Defend like it matters — because here it does.
• The fresh team must organise in seconds: talk while you sprint on.
• Scoring team: attack the disorganised moment of the change.
• Use the rest period to actually coach the team that's off.

• The waiting team switches off and enters cold — give them a watching brief: spot the next team's weakness.
• Games drag without goals and intensity dips — shrink the pitch if three minutes keeps passing goalless.
• The same weak team cycles off constantly and gets the least game time — rebalance squads mid-session.

• Goals from one-touch finishes count double.
• The entering team starts with possession instead.
• Two-goal rule: stay on until you concede twice.

• Longer no-goal limit.
• Coach restarts each change with a calm build-up.
• Equal three-minute rotations regardless of score.

• The change happens at game speed — slow entries concede space.
