Lesson Summary
You will learn to accurately shoot at the goal with variety and power.
Key Notes
- Move: using varied shots and angles creates unpredictability and increases the chances of scoring.
- Move: shooting on the move allows players to maintain momentum and evade defenders.
- Think: going into the 'D' is only permitted after the ball has been released.
- Feel: it takes confidence to jump or shoot while unstable, trusting your ability despite the lack of balance.
- Connect: having awareness of where the goalkeeper is improves the accuracy of scoring.

a player jumps into the air to throw the ball at the goal.
3. Correct this common mistake.
Mistake: Players are not allowed in the D apart from the goalkeeper. Correction: If you land in the goal area (the D) after taking a shot, the goal will still count as long as the ball was released before you entered the area. However, if you enter the goal area during regular play, possession is awarded to the opposing team.
