2. Instructions:
Red and GreenTeams play in possession and look to create overload. The goal is to create an overload on each of the 3 zones. The red defenders #2 and 3 start the game. One of the 2 defenders must penetrate zone 2 which would create a 3V2 overlaod in Zone 2. From this zone 2, two of the 3 players in possession must reach final zone which would create a new overload in attack of 3V2. All players keep/return zone of origin at lost or goal scored, or ball out of the lines.
