Setup
Choose {GA - GS] and defending [GD - GK]. Two feeders [WA - C] are 2m apart. Defenders start on the sidelines.
Step 1
Starting just in front of [WA], [C] leads directly down-court before dodging EITHER left or right

[C] receives near (1 or 2)
Step 2
Now enact your goalie system for the next pass. Depending on which side [C] has received, that goalie leads.

The other goalie should make a backup lead, in case the primary target is covered
Step 3
[C] finishes with the pass to the goalie in best position.

Optionally take a shot if within range, or make a final pass to the other goalie.
Step 4
Feeders swap roles next turn.

Remember to mix up the cone that the final pass comes from to keep the goalies alert.
Step 5
Progression 1: For a moderate difficulty increase, introduce a [WD] defender who the deeper feeder must shake before receiving

You can make this less difficult by having an additional attacker who makes this a 2-on-1 contest.
Step 6
Progression 2: The real test - introduce circle defender(s) who apply pressure to the goalies

Make it easier by just introducing a single circle defender to start with

Make it harder by also having the [WD] defend the up-court feeder
