Play starts with a 3v2 to goal, ball randomly thrown in. If A wins ball, they attack the goal or can recruit more teammate help by making a give-and-go with a perimeter player. Ball must cleanly be passed, recieved by perimeter player, and passed back to original field player in order for perimeter player to join attack. If D wins ball, their goal is to clear or dribble the ball thru the blue cone gates. If this isn't an easy option, they can also choose to recruit more D help from the perimeter by the same means (making a clean give and go). Play ends and field is reset once a goal is scored or D clears the ball.
Use help (numbers up) if the situation calls for it. Play smart to score! Field and space awareness.
