Run backwards.
Pass B3-B1 throw at goal.

COACHING POINTS

distance to opponent : arm length
arm lifted to shoulder height, backwards, height as if to make a normal center shot
hand should be sidewards, like you want to sweep the floor with the side of your hand
let go of the ball and point to the direction you want to throw it

PROGRESSION

Defender acts as if to block the normal center shot by holding his arms high to give space for the shot at hip height.
Defender holds arms high OR low : attaquer has to make a choice : center shot normal OR hip height.
Defender is really active to prevent throwing.

Blue players take it in turns to dribble forward and shoot on goal.

However, there's 3 defenders in their way, so in order to make space for the shot players will have to shoot at hip height to avoid the defender's wide arms.
