Injector: always hit/push the ball in from this side. Aim for the Striker at the top of the D. After playing the ball, immediately run to the post for rebound/deflection. Double Cheeseburger (Striker): receive the ball at the top of the D. Touch the ball inside the D, then shoot for either post. Back Up (French Fry): wait behind the Striker, in case she misses the ball. If she does, collect it, dribble into the D and shoot. If not, move to the top of the D to collect clearance/rebound. Pansy: If the Injector mishits the ball, she may not touch it again. Go collect the ball, dribble outside the D, then immediately cross the ball. If the injection is good, run to beside the P-spot for rebound/deflection. Dragon: As soon as the Injector plays the ball, immediately run to the post for rebound/deflection. Slip Left/Right: Striker may choose to pass to you instead of shooting, to fool the defense. If you receive the pass, shoot at goal. If not, step inside the D for rebound.
