PLAY SCENARIOThe team in white is attacking from left to right, while the team in red is defending the right half of the field. The ball is passed back from an attacking white player to a teammate, who immediately volley kicks the ball over the red team’s defenders. Two attacking players subsequently run forward and become involved in active play. The second attacker ultimately gathers the ball and continues toward her opponent’s goal. 3
