Development
The defenders must defend 5 consecutive balls.
After each ball a new attacker enters the game. The defenders therefore practice from having
a 3v1 advantage over the attackers through to 3v5 in attackers favour.
Attackers already in the playing area do not have to return to the starting point.
Can they cope with defending more than one ball?

Play a normal game. Look at how the defenders work together to close out the opponents
attacks. After experiencing the above games with multiple balls and outcomes, defending
should seem easier in a normal game.
Finally build from 3v1 to 3v5 to give the attackers the advantage.
