There will be two back fours where one back four will have a goal keeper. The coaches will throw the ball to the right back. The coach will then throw the ball to the center backs working through the defensive line starting at the right back and ending at the left back. After the coach has gone through the back four a few times they will then change it up and pas the ball along the floor. This makes the defenders step out onto the ball and the other three defenders to cover around him. The coach will then throw the ball at any part of the body and the defenders have to step out and either get it back into the coaches hands or take a touch and control it then play it back to the coach.
