Warm up drill using the right corner of the field, attacker curls in opening up wide play to secondary attacker, who curls baseline and throws ball to top.
Attacker 1: Concentrate on throwing the ball outside attacker 2 - towards the sideline - weighted for them to run onto. Extra difficulty - try and throw pass while hips are square to baseline.
