Three players with a ball start in the grid furthest away from the goal with one defender in the first grid and one defender in the second grid.
The practice is for the 3 players to progress through the 2 grids and score a goal.
Defenders can only defend inside their own grid.
It is important that the 3 players play very controlled and do not lose possession

Lastly you can allow the defenders to track back but only once the ball has left their grid.
