Two attackers are passing and suddenly one of them shoots at the goal. At that moment the two defenders sprint for the fast break and the goalkeeper passes them the ball after getting control over the goalshot.

Stop and Throw a Fast Break 3:

Goalkeeper stands on the goal line. A player throws a ball at the goal, which the goalkeeper tries to stop.

Once under control of the ball, he throws a fast break pass to one of the players half way up the court.

Behind the goal there is the coach raising left or right arm to show which break player must run.

Defence to Attack:

The attackers line on both sides if the court, each with a ball, and take it in turns to run forwards, take the ball round the defender and have a half pace shot on goal (making it easy for the keeper to gather the ball).

As soon as the defender sees the keeper make the save they then make their move up field - presenting themselves as a passing option for the keeper.

The keeper should then release the ball into the path of the break-away defender who then moves up field to the centre line before then jogging to rejoin the back of the line to go again.
