Setup

  1. A cone on the circle edge and one at the transverse line.
  2. Shooter starts at the circle edge, a feeder with the balls.

How it runs

  1. Sprint to the transverse line and back, receive the feed, land, settle and shoot.
  2. Ten shots, count the makes.
  3. Second shooter retrieves and feeds; swap after ten.

Coaching points

  • Settle before the shot: feet, breath, eyes on the ring.
  • Same release every time, high and soft.
  • Follow the shot in for the rebound.

Common mistakes

  • Shooting straight off the landing.
  • Rushing the release when tired.

Say it: “Feet, breath, eyes.”

Make it harder

  • Add a defender's hands over the ball.
  • Shoot from the edge of the circle.

Make it easier

  • Jog instead of sprint.
  • Shoot from under the post.
