D2 moves the ball up field with a pass to the D3 at the top of the box. D3 makes a cross-field pass to the coach. Players rotate with the ball for each run so that they get a chance at each spot. Options Midfield Players can be added to make it a full field clear. Offensive players can be added to provide obstacles for passing and locking off players to force skip passes, game situation.
