Ball starts with the defender who plays a pass to the winger who in turns passes to the CM. The CM then plays a pass through the cones for the attacker to run onto. The CM makes a foward run to support the attacker. The attacker then either takes a shot or chooses to play it to the CM who can take a shot.
