- Two active players (one forward, one defender) and a feeder
- The feeder passes the ball into the forward, while the defend puts pressure on the forward
- The forward should be using the clip hit to get a quick strike off
- The defender becomes the new forward
- The distance between the forward and the defender should mean a proper challenge is not made
- This to prevent the forward setting the ball perfectly to take a strike

- Decrease the distance between the two active players
- Increase the ball pace to put more pressure on the trap
