Play begins with a pass from the coach to any of the 8 attacking players. The 8 attacking players must attempt to complete 10 passes. On the tenth pass one player from the attacking team can burst out of the central playing area and go to goal. If the defensive team wins possession they must attempt to pass to any of the four target players positioned at the cones outside the central playing area. After a shot or a loss of possession the next ball is put into play by the coach. Play is continuous for a total of 6 balls from the coach.
