3 teams of 2 inside an 8-10m ring. Two teams (blue and grey) try to keep the ball away from the team in the middle (red). The team in the middle must regain possession by tackle/ball going out of the ring off the team in possession. Swap out for the team who made the pass/last touch. Any mistake leading to the ball out of the circle, the person at fault's team goes in the middle.
Communication from defenders
Staying low
First touch -> next action -> not remaining static
Face the defenders/rest of the circle at all times
Keep intensity high, lots of balls next to ring for speed
