Description and Graphics
The progression starts with a 2v1 situation when the coach passes the ball to one of the teams' first player in the area.
Attacking team must try to finish the action with the help of the neutral player. When a goal is scored or the ball is out, other two players run into the area from each team to create a 3v2 situation. The coach also serves a ball to the attacking team.
After the 3v2 situation is finished the last pair run into the area to create a 4v3 situation and score a goal. Attacking directions are changed after every finished exercise. (2v1, 3v2, 4v3).
When the defending team wins the ball they attack to the opposite goal as the attackers.
