  • It receives the ball in the backhand
  • In the exercise from the other side, you are played into your forehand
  • When B has taken the ball, he plays it to C
  • C has run past the pawns in the meantime
  • C takes the ball and runs past the pawns back to the dead ball line
  • Passes the ball in front of the goal to B.

  • A starts with a ball and drives into the circle and rounds off
  • B plays when A has rounded a ball to V1
  • From here the 2 versus 2 starts

drawing 2 versus 2 rounding
  • We always play 2 against 2
  • Group 1 plays against group 2
  • Group 3 stands ready with a ball, if the ball is out, or scored, group 3 may start, Group 1 then enters that box to defend
  • Group 1 against group 3
  • Group 4 is ready with a ball, ball out, or scored, group 4 starts with the ball and writes group 3 to defend
  • Group 3 against group 4
  • And so on
