Setup
Choose goalie with the ball (A), second goalie (C), and defender (B). Optionally have a 2nd pair of goalies starting off-court, remainder are defenders lining up at (1) - or the extra goalies can play this defense.
Step 1
(A) starts 1-1.5m inside the goal circle and lines-up to shoot. Defender (B) applies shot defence.
Step 2
(A) lines up to shoot, but instead drops a lob over the defender to (C) under the post

Deceptions is critical - if the move is telegraphed, you'll give the defender a chance

Defender can tip/intercept if they're quick enough and the pass is poor
Step 3
(C) takes a shot, then fetches the ball. (B) exits and is replaced by next (B). Attacking pair (A & C) have 4 turns before being replaced by other goalies (assuming there's a 2nd pair). Attackers swap passing and shooting roles.
Step 4
Progression 1: Defender (B) can either perform shot defence or play offline to cover the non-shooting goalie. (A) can choose between stepping in to take a penalty shot, or (C) can hold and drop.

(C) should point or make a signal if they want the ball passed, in which case they stand directly behind (B) to initiate the hold.
