Description and Graphics

Player 1,2 and 3 of both teams dribble the ball  at a moderate intensity in their own squares, as shown.
Players 4, 5 and 6 stand and prepare in the determined small squares, as starting positions.
The competition starts for the coach sign by calling the number 1 or whistling, etc.
At coach's command, the Player 1 of both teams leaves his ball in the area, sprints, passes round the stick, gets a ball and dribbles it with full speed to Player 4's small square.
P4 picks the ball up and sprints keeping it in his arm to P5.
He puts the ball at his feet, dribbles it between the sticks as fast as he can, then performs a low, accurate pass to P6 and accelerates toward him.
P6 stops the ball within the square, then sprints with full speed to the area, where his teamates (P2 and 3) are dribbling.
He must touch the next player (P2) or they must clap their hands, beacuse P2 can leave only then.
Meanwhile P5 tries to pass the ball to the small goal.
The accuracy is important, since a goal is worth a point.
Then the competition continues the same way, until the last (13th) ball is intercepted.
