Organization

The game is played on one half of the court. Near the end line, on the side, place the starting marker for players A and E, both in possession of a ball. Place the starting marker for player B about 15 meters/16 yards in front of this marker. Place the starting marker for player C in a central position on the halfway line. Place the starting marker for player D on the same horizontal line as player B's one, but on the opposite side. A goalkeeper defends the goal.

Description

Below is the combination of passes:

Player A passes the ball to teammate B
B gives the ball back to player A, who is running towards them
Player A passes the ball diagonally to teammate C
C passes the ball to player B, who is running towards them
Player B switches play with a horizontal pass to teammate D
D passes the ball diagonally to player C, who is running forward
Player C shoots at goal, while D advances along the side to offer width

Players' rotation (yellow arrows):

A, after passing the ball to C, moves to B's position
B, after switching play to D, moves to C's position
C, after shooting at goal, moves to D's position
