PROGRESSION 2
Same sequence but now aadd 3 defenders in the box. Defenders re not allowed to enter the white squares nor the red circle in the middle of the pitch. Players need t run pass the defenders and follow the previous sequence. Attackers are allowed to run back to their square for safety. If caught they have to run back to their latest square. Change defenders after a while
