Start and transition on the whistle. Coach will yell out the match up - 1v1, 2v1, 2v2 or 3v2 to set up each battle. The athletes must stay inside the center circle to ensure that the battle is contained in a small space and the athletes learn to move the ring under pressure offensively or defend man on man. If there is a goal scored or the ring is shot outside of the circle a "new ring" will be dumped in by the coach.
