  • Builders:
    • The novice builder begins to pass to the fellow builder.
    • You run on and receive the ball back from the team-mate.
    • You then break through to the outside and pull your defender along.
    • You then pass back to the team player so that he/she can score.
  • Defender:
    • The defender defends actively
    • You do stay defensively at the goal area line.

Place the thick mat against the net (for large groups, 2 mats).
