Ball starts with attacker 1
Attacker 1 passes to defender 1 who passes back to attacker 2
Once the ball is received by attacker 2 all 3 attackers can move.
Aim is for second defender to stay in lane & be patient
Attackers can structure ball movement – aim is to isolate one defender, creating 2 on 1 – maintain shape, one attacker to get high if possible
Variations
Defender 2 stays inside circle
Restrict area players can run
If defenders intercept they must bring ball out under control
Increase numbers from 3 on 2 – to 4 on 3 etc
