GD positions themselves on the opposite side of the court to throw in. WD positions themselves off centre on the transverse line. C positions themselves in the centre of the centre third. GD leads across court on the diagonal to receive pass from GK. GK then backs up by leading down the court towards the transverse line to receive second pass from GD. When GK receives ball, WD cuts down the court into the centre third, then across to receive the next pass. When WD receives ball from GK, C cuts down the middle of the court into the attacking third, and WA will come forward to receive pass from WD. If WA can not get free, GD will cut down the middle of the court to offer a lead to WD. If the throw in occurs on the other side of the court, same set up in reverse.
Timing - Players must hold their leads until team mate has received the ball.
