One or more players are defenders and have the job of winning the ball and carrying it over the other short side. The ball is in play until it has crossed one of the short sides. Progression 1 – 2 players per ball: Two players together must take the ball over the opposite end line. Possibility to pass when pressed. Progression 2 – Throw/roll: The players throw and roll the ball to each other across the pitch. It is not allowed to run with the ball.
