Where players should be positioned on court when ball is in the goal circle How shooters should move in the circle
Shooters move in a triangle format to give the feeders the best chance at feeding in the ball near the hoop.y Feeders should always try and balance the goal third, by thinking of the third in 3 channels it will avoid the feeders being heavy on one side. WA and C should avoid being trapped to deep in the pockets of the side channels. GS and GA should aim to receive the ball along the base line drive, or early in the forward drive, as to receive the ball close to the hoop. WD should stay near the transverse line to support the feeders in resets. GD should float near the transverse line of the defence end. GK needs to be aware of how high they are in the circle but not right under the hoop either.
