First blue player runs to D and takes unopposed shot. If no possible rebound then next blue player is "live" and can begin. However a red player will move to defend. Every time the ball becomes "dead" or a goal is scored, the next attacking player begins a new attack. Keep changing the players around so everyone gets to attack and defend. Variations Use a 10 second shot clock on each attack. Two penalty corners = a penalty flick taken at the end of a round of attacks. Swap sides.
