    Hit and Spin:

    Two players with shields stand facing the runners on opposite sides of a grid. On the command, the players run into the shield and spins to their right before joining the back of the group on the left hand side. The practice keeps repeating.

    On GO, each ball carrier drives into the contact pad and spins out, past the defender before passing the ball to the next player in the other group.
