Same set up as previous drill without elimination skill.
Add a 3rd player [D.] as a defender as indicated.
Once player [Y] passes the ball he joins the attack.
As soon as player [X] receives the ball player [D] becomes active, creating a 2v1 scenario.
RULES: Attackers are not allowed to hit the ball; play only ends with a goal, the ball leaving the circle or an attacking foul.
1. Start defenders a passive to begin with.
2. Upgrade to time limit of 6 seconds to score a goal (focus on increase in intensity).
3. If necessary add a 2nd defender to create a 2v2 (based on group progress)
