This creates a 2v2 situation.
Play continues until the ball goes out of play or a goal is scored.
When this happens the players on the field quickly get back into their original lines, keepers stay on, and the coach kicks the next ball in for the next four players.
Make it competitive: play until all the balls have been served or a team gets a certain number of goals.
