  1. Area of up to 20x20m. Modify area depending on the number and age of players.
  2. Two players have a ball each (Mosquitoes).
  3. Extra footballs around the area to restart match.

HOW TO PLAY

  1. Two “Mosquitoes” players try and bite players by hitting players below the knee with a football.
  2. Mosquitoes can dribble with the football.
  3. Once hit below the knee the bitten player becomes a Mosquito and must retrieve a football from the side line. They then re-join the game and try and infect other players.
  4. Play 1-2 minutes rounds to see how many players they can bite.
  5. Players without a ball need to avoid being bitten by running, dodging and evading the “Mosquito’s” footballs.
