- Players inside the square play a 2 vs 2 situation and try to pass the ball to their teammates placed on the corners. When the ball gets to a corner, the player enters the square with an oriented control and plays the 2 vs 2, while the teammate who passed the ball goes on the corner
- This new couple of players tries to pass the ball to the other teammate on the opposite corner. If the opponent team conquers the ball, this team should try to pass it to their teammates on the corners while keeping ball possession
