Blue are attacking and Red defending.
3 v 3 in central area.
1 v 1 in Channels.
1 v 2 in Score Zone.
Blue are looking to score in Red goal by either playing through to lone striker or by playing wide in the channels.
If played through to striker then red have an overload 2 v 1 + keeper.
If ball played wide then 1 v 1 situation.
If Red win the ball, they can run the ball over the halfway line to score.
Blue midfield can only enter the score zone if the winger has the ball
Play always restarts with Blue on the halfway line.
