Player / coach stands in line with the substitution line and feeds the ball to the attacking players (white 3 and white 1).
On receiving the pass players must try to wrong foot the wing defender as they engage in a defensive duel.
After the move is over (after an interception or a shot on goal) the attacker join the back of their own line and the defenders sprint to switch sides of the court and join the back of the line on the other side of the court.
