Depending on what age group you have but I like to utilise my GD as the first lead,try and make her stand at the top of the goal circle, the WD to stand on the transverse line roughly behind the GD and the Centre to stand in the centre third. GD to make an attampt to get the pass as she can move anywhere in the goal circle,(even if the GD has two players on her she must make a lead) if she can't get the ball then your WD drives to the opposite side creating space if she gets caught then you have your Centre driving hard. It is a split formation, the back lead must go the opposite side and must use her eyes.
