2.03 SHOOTING

(d) MORE DIFFICULT TYPES OF SHOT

Working on different types of shots in difficult situations

In pairs per korf, always one fixed assist player and one fixed shooter. Change functions every one or two minutes.

A. The assist player always gives the ball a metre to the left of the shooter who jumps across to catch the ball and shoots immediately in a flowing movement.

B. As A, but now the ball is thrown to the right.

C. As A, but now the assist player chooses whether to pass the ball to the left or right.

Exercises A, B, and C are primarily intended to allow shots to be taken after poor passes.

D. The assist player gives a flat pass from under the korf. Just before (s)he receives the ball, the attacker, who starts six metres from the korf, takes a step backwards. (S)he shoots thereafter in a flowing movement off one leg. This allows the attacker to create more room for the shot, but requires considerable technique and power.

E. The same exercise as D, but now the shooter has a defender. The assist player must continue to pass as flat as possible. The shooter will be inclined to make the backwards movement earlier – exactly what should not occur. This movement is made only just before catching the ball, immediately followed by a shot.

F. An assist player is under the korf, with the shooter eight metres from the post with a defender. The assist player passes to the shooter who, after catching the ball, takes a step towards the korf as if to attempt a running-in shot. Once the defender starts to follow the movement, the attacker immediately brings the front leg back and shoots.

In exercises D, E and F the attacker plays him/herself free with a simple movement. An efficient approach which requires a lot of technique (and therefore practice).
