First blue player runs to D and takes unopposed shot.
If no possible rebound then next blue player is "live" and can begin. However a red player will move to defend.
Every time the ball becomes "dead" or a goal is scored, the next attacking player begins a new attack.
Keep changing the players around so everyone gets to attack and defend.
Variations
Use a 10 second shot clock on each attack.
Two penalty corners = a penalty flick taken at the end of a round of attacks.
Swap sides.
