Where can they go?
They are allowed to move in the centre and attacking third including the circle.
What do they do?
They mark the opposition's goal defence.
They have to be good passers and long range shooters.
Their role is to work with the WA to get the first centre pass, if not then assist in feeding the ball to the Goal shooter so they can shoot from close range as well as taking shots from long range.
If not taking the shot, get into a good position to win the rebound if the GS misses.

Tight markers win when attackers run in straight lines. Teach your players to dodge, change pace and time their drive so they get free when the ball is ready.
When everyone chases the ball, nobody is free. Teach your team to spread out, offer two options and clear space so the ball moves cleanly down court.
A shooter who can hold a strong position under the post is worth more than one who runs all over the circle. Here is how to coach body shape, a legal hold and a well-timed release, and how feeders make the most of it.
