WD and GD set up, one in front of the other, at top of circle (GD should be infront, otherwise the WD can get trapped at top of circle) both players split (behind player goes opposite direction to front player) and call for GK pass. Whichever player does NOT recieve the ball, must make a quick movement around the ring for the second pass. C player should recieve the next pass from WD (according to diagram scenario) or if the WD is unable to get the pass from the GD, a long pass to the C will surfice.
Practicing drills where two players split will help with this. Communication with the C player is important - do not leave the resposibility to the Defence, C must watch play and be quick to assist.

Tight markers win when attackers run in straight lines. Teach your players to dodge, change pace and time their drive so they get free when the ball is ready.
When everyone chases the ball, nobody is free. Teach your team to spread out, offer two options and clear space so the ball moves cleanly down court.
A shooter who can hold a strong position under the post is worth more than one who runs all over the circle. Here is how to coach body shape, a legal hold and a well-timed release, and how feeders make the most of it.
