4 defenders should be chosen. This exercise will occur on alternate sides- one side at a time. The aim of this is for the attackers to score, and the defenders must drive the ball over the half way line. 2 attackers must go in the D, along with 1 defender. 1 defender must stay down with two attackers by the half way line. The attackers pass the ball to the defender, whom shall pass it back and the game starts. The attackers at the half way line have to get the ball to the higher attackers. They can drive or hit the ball anywhere. When the ball reaches the shooting circle, players must try to score. When the game finishes (attackers score, ball is lost, or defenders win), the opposite side must play. Around half way through, switch sides. Defenders must be changes regularly.
Attackers should win this, or at least have a shot on goal.
