Ball starts on the outside, minimum of 2 passes made on the outside of the circle then ball can be played in to and attacker. Defenders must try to mark attackers to stop a pass, attackers must try to lose their defender in order to receive a pass. If defenders intercept the ball they must try to play it out to a player on the outside of the circle.
DEFENDING Front-marking so the Attacker does not have time to receive the ball in a dangerous space?

ATTACKING Attackers should be looking for space, and interchanging between themselves, look to pull defenders out of position.
