Continuous 3v3 transition game. Defensive players start in the D-Zone. Attacking players start at the blueline. Defenders try to protect the net, retrieve the puck and pass to next attacking group at blueline. The attacking team becomes the new defenders if they score or the D pass to the next attacking group. The original defenders transition out and back in line. Can move the starting position up to tops of circle to make it a smaller play area for faster transitions.
