I need some help with my forwards on the post. They keep missing shots. What is the correct positioning for them and what kind I do to help them score.

The problem may be a dynamic one with difficulty making contact with moving and bouncing ball. Try in pairs - 1 ball - underarm toss for the other player to just make contact like a 'cricket Block shot' to have the ball drop in front of the player. Extend (1) to gentle block & 'bat' with vertical stick back to thrower. Extend (2) - stand at corner post and 'block & bat' underarm throw into net. Extend (3) - roll or push ball to post and make contact to push into goal Hope this helps Gaye Henderson Gold Coast Queensland Australia
