While the third team — Players 7, 8 and 9 — is in the waiting position, the first team with Players 1, 2 and 3 forms the attack and the second team with Players 4, 5 and 6 the defence. Player 6 is in the waiting position.
Once the attack is finished, Player 6 pushes up with the ball, so that this team now forms the attack.
Two players of the waiting third team — 7 and 8 — now form the defence. Player 9 waits until that team gains possession of the ball.
