Complete a set number of passes [4 - 6] and then transfer the ball into zone 2.

In zone 2, set number of players [1 - 2] from zone 1 can join to increase the numbers up, and look to combine to play and get the ball into zone 3

In zone 3, if attackers maintains possession, the 4 attackers in zone 2 transfer to zone 3, and the 3 defenders from zone 2 drop into zone 3 to defend, and will again form a 6 v 3 in zone 3
