3 Quick Questions (With Answers)

1. Explain the lesson in two key points.

Move: a tall body position, with fully extended arms above the head, pushes the ball high onto a shooting arc. Think: rehearsing the stages of shooting, a stable base, extending the arms and a controlled release increases success.

2. What does this key word mean in this lesson? 'goal circle'

the D or semi-circle that marks out the shooting area at each end of the court.

3. Correct this common mistake.

Mistake: A GS is a static position. Correction: The GS can move out of the goal circle to create space for the GA to drive in and receive the ball. A shooter position requires dynamic movements such as power to jump for a rebound.
