Setup
Form 3m squares per group of 4. (A, B & C) work together, (D) is the defender.
Step 1
(A) and (B) pass back-and-forth, looking for an opportunity to pass to (C).
Step 2
Meanwhile, defender (D) covers (C) who leads between cones (3 & 4)

(C) will naturally present to the cone closest to the person with the ball, so (D) should look to cover this side
Step 3
Within 10 passes, (A / B) must pass to (C) between cones (3 & 4), while (D) attempts to intercept.

(A / B) can fake pass to (C), if (D) over-commits then (C) can dodge and receive.

Held ball rule applies

After 45 seconds call for a rotation where everyone moves to the next station

(A to B), (B to C) etc.
