Purpose

Receiving a penalty pass enables you to run set plays to take advantage of the spare player. This particular strategy is used when you've received a penalty nearer to the transverse line than the post. Situations where an opposition (circle defender / feeder) is penalised are both covered.

Setup
Choose teams and setup as per the diagram.
Step 1
When a circle defender penalized is nearer the transverse line:-

[WA/C] take the pass, the other stands non-ballside on the arc, well away from the goalies

Goalies stand together and execute (as late as possible) a ball-side screen.

Aim for 1 pass to shoot, however if the receiving goalie is beyond their comfort zone, look for a pass to the other goalie or a double play with a feeder
Step 2
When opposition [WD/C] penalised:-

Same setup as when circle defender penalised

Goalie systems determine who the primary target will be, the second goalie makes a backup lead.

Given both circle defenders are in-play, the non-passer of [WD/C] makes a complimentary lead in a wide passing lane in case both are covered.
Step 3
After passing the feeder should run to the circle edge to provide an outlet for a double play with a goalie.
