Hi Ronel,

When the ball is entering the circle from the right, the right wing should position herself strategically to maximise scoring opportunities. Here's a recommended positioning:

Positioning at the Post: The right wing should aim to position herself in line with the right post, slightly in front of the goal, about 3-5 meters away. This positioning allows her to effectively deflect or receive passes.

Body Orientation: Her left shoulder should be pointing towards the goal, ensuring that she is ready to receive a pass or deflect the ball into the goal.

Run and Timing: The player should time her run in an arc to hold space and be ready to receive the ball. This involves using an S-shaped run to get into the optimal position.

For more detailed drills on positioning and scoring from the right wing, you can refer to the "Right Wing - Cross and Shoot" drill.

I hope this helps,

Cam
