Two players are standing in the back-court area, two in the close throwing area, and three in the defence. The aim of the drill is to pass the ball on in an attacking movement between the back-court players and to learn standing throws as goal throws, closing in to the goal-area line or deception. In this methodically set up basic playing mode the standing throw is also variously used as deception (aims : fix opponents, play a backward pass,…) as well as action start variation. Another variation could also be a situation involving two attackers against a defender.

Neither of those throws is as powerful as the standing throw, which can be made while standing still or on the run and which is often used by backcourt players trying to surprise the goalkeeper or simply if an attacker has a clear lane to the goal.
