Players will attack in groups of 2, so we have 2 v 1's.
That's it - get them moving for a while - and remind the defenders that they can only move from side to side.
After a while - tell the attackers that the ball carrier must take contact - and pass the ball out of contact.
That's it - get the players moving again and let them discover how it's done.
Don't forget to change the defenders.

The pass is only complete when caught.
Players do not spin the ball over short distances and their pass should be sympathetic to the receiver.
Ball carriers pass to where the receiver is going to be, not where they are.

Players demonstrate good communication . Communication should be efficient, effective, and encouraging. Receivers should identify themselves, their location etc. Ball carriers should verbally seek out support.

Ball carriers should be aware of their support: the support runners position etc.
Allow players to be creative.
