Description

Three teams, three goals, two footballs - kick off!! According to Wikipedia "The first known game of 3SF, played on Friday 28 May 1993, was organized by the London Psychogeographical Association on Glasgow Green as part of the Glasgow Anarchist Summer School. Participants included Richard Essex, Stewart Home and the members of The Workshop for Non-Linear Architecture." This, of course is NONSENSE - I first played it at Scout Camp in the 1960's and I'm sure there may be many others who did back then. It's been part of our group games for many years . I was originally surprised that I could not find it on OSM so added this entry - I now see that someone had previously added "Quarterball" to OSM which is essentially the same format but played indoors - so I apologise for the lack of uniqueness of my entry..

Resources

Three goals (use cones or jumpers to mark posts) - arranged roughly at the 3 points of a triangle facing inwards
Two light footballs
Three Teams (with some form of visual differentiation - but not essential - can play in patrols perhaps)

Instructions

Set up Goals
Basic football rules - no handling, no fouling - each team can have a designated goalie who can use hands in front of own goal.
Each team has to score as many goals between the opposition goal-posts whilst conceding as few goals as possible in their own
Work out your own pitch boundaries
Winner is the Team which lets least goals in within the specified time of the match.
Great for tactical psychology.
If you're feeling more adventurous with a larger group - try 4 teams, 4 goals and 3 balls (though I've not played or risk assessed that - so think about it first)
