Description:
A passes the ball to B. Defender is trying to steal the ball. B scores by turning defender and passing to C. Rotate players constantly. A goes to B, B becomes the defender, defender goes to C and C goes to A.

Coaching Points:
4 B's of shielding (Ball, body (attacker), Barrier, (defender) Body), keep body side ways on between the ball and defender, use are as barrier and guide to feel defenders movement. Turn away from pressure.
