Lateral German Throwing

- Initial setup. A thrower, 1, stands just outside the endzone, marked by D1. A receiver, 2, stands around 8m away in the middle of the field, defended by D2. Mark out two reception areas with cones, 8-12m away from 2 on either side. “German” in this context means a thrower-led option where the target isn’t actively cutting, but rather the throw goes up to space and the receiver reacts to it.
- Defence can set up however they want; the defenders in the diagram show just one of many examples.
- 1 must read the situation and throw into one of the two boxes. The receiver, 2, cannot initiate and can only attack one side.
