- D lays the ball wide and C finishes.

- The exercise ends as soon as one of the parties scores.
- A becomes defender, defender becomes B, B becomes C, C becomes D, and D joins the back of the line.
- Start by first receiving and playing so B has to deal with a player at his back.
- Then place permanent defenders in the active defender positions and make it a match.
- Whoever scores the most goals in 5 minutes wins.
- Pass the ball at the right speed so your teammate can handle it immediately.
- The position of B is important to shield the ball immediately upon receiving.
