D in yellow starts with one touch quick passing (one defender plays pass w the GK)
At this time the attackers are making cuts and working on have circle balance (not all three on one side of the circle)
When one coach blows the whistle, D push their balls over the end line and then as quickly as they can find a mark.
The second coach will be responsible for hitting one of the attackers with a good pass after an appropriate amount of time to allow the D to organize.
That ball is played out to an outlet or a goal.
