Description and Graphics

4 attackers possess the ball against 2 defenders as shown. After some passes they perform a deep pass to one of the other 2 attackers, who must break away and move back to the neutral Zone. This player can decide whether he lays the ball off to one of the 2 attackers arriving or he possesses the ball. The player in possession tries to pass or dribble the ball to the other side as quickly as possible, where they start the 4v2 game again. In case the defenders intercept the ball they pass it back to the attackers.
