- Player continues to move to the right of the gates and has the ball on the left side of his body.
- Player moves to the left of the first gate and ball passes on the right, player moves to the right of the second gate and ball passes on the right. The player continues to alternate this until the end of the slalom.
After the slalom, the player rounds the ball on goal and rejoins the back of the line.
Dummy:
- The player does three passes behind the dummy and rounds on target.

- Make sure you step out well with your left foot and pass the ball well under you.
- After your move, accelerate briefly to the next double pawn.
- All but one player have a ball.
- The player without ball is the defender and tries to work all the balls out of the square as quickly as possible.
