This game is a simple warmup.
Attackers (in blue) must all start with a ball each. 2-3 defenders should be introduced also.
This game can occupy a large quantity of numbers.
Defenders should always start from the centre line. Attackers should all be released at the same time, and should remain close to their ball each time (No hitting the ball through!)
To decipher defender from attacker, give the defenders a bib.
