Player 1 is acting as the feeder as all other players line up to their left and right. Player one carries the ball towards the defender in order to create space for the players to their left and right.
Once they have engaged the defender they should offload the ball to their left, in front of player 2.
Player 2 so must move forwards to meet the pass. Once they have the ball under control they should switch the ball cross-court to player 3, making sure their pass is out of the defender's reach.
Player 3 runs onto this pass and then shoots on goal.
To begin with the defender should be passive. However, after one run through allow them to contest for the ball - trying to tackle and intercept and generally making things difficult for the attackers.
Change direction of play so that the starting pass goes right instead of left.
