Defenders (blue) start at the top cone furthest from the goals on the left and make their way around their top cone to join the play.
Attackers (red) start at the bottom cone at the right and make their way around the bottom cone before collecting the ball and starting the attack.
A sweeper is placed in the area before the attack commences.
The aim is for the defenders to prevent the attackers from scoring in the goals.
Once the ball is turned over the game or out of bounds the game is over.
An even number of attackers and defenders are called by the coach to join the sweeper who is already in position.
eg. 2,2 -2 attackers and 2 defenders join the sweeper which creates an overload.
