  • Split into teams with the number of defenders numbering 25-40% of attackers (8 v 2, 9 v 3, 10 v 4) depending on numbers.
  • Everyone must remain inside the diamond. Attacking team (A) start with the ball.
  • Attacking team (A) must use hands to work the ball around the diamond, avoiding team (B) who try to effect a turnover.
