The two attacking players (WA, GA) are to progress up court and pass amongst themselves in the shooting third. The GK will mark the GS how ever will mark infront and move from each side ensuring that they stay on the side of where the ball is. When either the GA or WA thinks that the timing of the pass is right they can then throw the ball into the GS who will be holding their position. The GK will always make sure that they are in the position to intercept e.g. on the right side if the WA is to throw or on the left side if the GA is to throw. If the GK is on the wrong side then the GS is given a free chance to move and is less likely to have an intercepted pass. To ensure that the defender can reach each side it is important to keep stuck to the GS side on aware of the ball and quickly side stepping around the GS.

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.
