-The central players begin the drill at the same time by passing to outside players on the opposite sides of the circle.
-The outside player immediately passes to a player adjacent to them on their right or left.
-Make sure the central player maintaines his central positioning.
-As soon as the outside player passes to the player to the right or left, they immediately begin their run to overlap that player.
-The player being overlapped quickly returns the ball to the central player who plays into the space of the overlapping player.
--The overlapping player switches roles with the central player and the play continues.
Leave it up to the players to decide whether to play to the left or right side of the outside player based on whether the player is being used by the other central player.
-Players must play with their heads up scanning the field and communicating so that two balls do not get played to the same player.
