The ball does not have to follow a particular order. Player in the middle tries to intercept the ball. If the intercept occurs the players change places and play starts again.
coach needs to talk to players about reading the play of the bal and not just following it. If the middle player is having trouble direct the players to pass to the opposite side of the circle or direct the incercept.
