Backline Stack:

WD and GD will start in a stacked position, one behind the other with the WD in front
The C will start just inside the centre third to allow the WD and GD space
Both players will split and go in opposite directions to make an offer for the ball
The WD is likely to receive the ball
The GD will then change direction and drive down court to offer for the next ball from the WD
The C will receive the ball from the GD - they must ensure they time their movement correctly

WD, GD Split:

WD and GD will set up to present an offer, however they will not be receiving the ball
The WD will start ball side and pull wide, taking the GS and WA with them to leave space in the middle
The GD will pull wide the other way and take the GA away to leave space in the middle
The C will time their movement and drive hard down the middle to receive the ball from the GK
By this time the WD and GD will have driven down court to offer for the next pass
The WD will receive the ball from the C
The GD will receive the ball from the WD
