  • Setup

    Choose players and setup as per the diagram.
  • Step 1

    [WA] is the primary target, so they key is for all other players involved at the centre pass [GA-WD-GD] to give [WA] maximum space to lead
  • Step 2

    [GA] stands 1-2m behind [WA] and motions as though preparing to lead, to keep their defender interested so they don't double defend [WA]
  • Step 3

    On the whistle, [WA] has both sides of the court to utilise when leading for [C]
  • Step 4

    Other players offer maximum space to [WA]:-
    [GA] is the secondary target, so once [WA] has chosen a side, they initiate their lead to the opposite side
    Whoever of [GD-WD] is on the same side as [WA] must not lead towards them and crowd their space.
    [GD-WD] provide third option leads
