Center Shot Technique when running

Left-handers should shoot with their right foot in front, right-handers shoot with their left foot in front

As you wind up to shoot get your hand at the same height as your shoulder and then pull the ball backwards. Your forearm should form a 90 degree angle with upper-arm

Hip turns backwards together with the hand behind the ball with your fingers slightly spread.

The third and final step involves moving forwards with a large and explosive drive - planting the 'weak' foot in the direction of the goal as the hand, arm and hips move forwards in the final movement.

Center shot - Hip height

Center shot hip height:

A right hander should take one right footed step forward when they are about an arm's length away from their opponent.

They should raise their arm to shoulder height, backwards, as if to make a normal center shot.

Their right hip should be turning backward with arm and shoulder together.

The player should then take a large step with their left foot, almost so that it is between the opponent's legs.

The final move - players' arms move from back to front explosively, with their hand behind the ball (hand should be sideways, like you want to sweep the floor with the side of your hand).

Finally, let go of the ball and point in the direction you want to throw it.

The Far Jump Shot

As players run up to where they are going to throw from they should bring the ball up to shoulder height.

The first step in the 1-2-3 pattern should be made with the foot they are going to jump with (so for right handed players this should be their left foot and for left-handed players vice versa).

The third step should be explosive and powerful.

In the air player's hip should go backward at the same time and in the same direction as the throwing arm.

Pull up other leg until upper leg is parallel with the other leg.

Screw back the hip and the arm should follow this movement explosively to the front.

Center shot when running - Fast Break

Simple fast break drill with two lines of players (one on each side) and a feeder/coach standing in the middle. The player at the front of the line passes the ball to the feeder in the middle and then sprints towards the goal. The feeder returns the ball, passing the ball in front of the runner, for them to run onto and shoot with a quick center shot! The attackers should go all the way to the goal line. Low shots are more effective!!

Running Center Shot - Beat the defender

Two lines of players (one on each side), a feeder/coach standing in the middle and a defender standing behind the feeder. The player on the left passes the ball to the coach/feeder in the middle.
