 2. The Blue team then dribble or receive a pass from the coach for a 2v1 against the Red that had just attacked. 

3. Once the attack finishes the two Red players on the outside cones join to form a 3v2 attack against the blue team and the coach feeds into them.

4. When the attack comes to an end 2 blue players join to form a 4v3 attack.
