Moves in and around goal third &
goal circle.
Main role is to shoot goals and be
available in the goal circle.
Communicates with Goal Attack.
Defends Goal Keep (one on one).
Short, sharp movements, shooting
and rebounding are required skills.
* The Goal Shooter and Goal Attack
must be able to work well together.
Finding space in the goal circle can
be difficult at times, so it’s important
to talk to each other.
* Shooters must be tough, both
mentally and physically, and
concentration is essential when
shooting.
* Shooters must put variety into their game.
Don't
become too predictable.
Change the style of your game
and vary the timing of your shot.
* As a shooter also learn to defend very well. Make it
easier for your defenders by pressuring the opposing
team all the way down the court (especially when
playing Goal Attack). Don’t worry about the missed shot
- focus on getting the ball back.
* Knees should be slightly bent to get good movement
and follow through.
* Ball does not lie in palm of the hand but on the base of
the fingers and rolled off as released.
* Regular practise is essential (100 - 200 per day).
Incorporate in your practise quick footwork around
cones, dodging, jumping for rebounds and ball work.
* concentrate on your shooting arc rather than what the
defence is doing.
