Routine 1: Corner taker passes it short to a player who makes a near post run. After passing, the corner taker makes a run to get in to a shooting position, picking up the ball from a first time flick. Routine 2: Taker passes a firm ball into the area. The middle player will dummy the pass and the defender from the back of the area will shoot first time. Ensure that the run from the shooter is timed and not too obvious. Routine 3: Taker passes the ball backwards and then runs along the byline to receive the ball back. Driving at the goal, the player will pass the ball back to another player who will shoot.
