JOIN NOWshort pass clarification
a team I've played against has used the same tactic several times and never been called up on it so I wanted to check it's ok to do - and ask if anyone had any ideas how to defend against it . The shooter has the ball under the net and they look like they're going to shoot but instead drop the ball behind their head to the GA who is standing directly behind them. The GA then shoots (either because they're more confident or just in a better position). I thought this might be considered a short pass but I don't know. there is no chance of me being able to intercept. Any ideas?

Good Afternoon,
In this scenario, this will be dependant on the distance between the GS and GA if it is a short pass. A short pass happens when a pass is played but there is not sufficient room for a person to fit between the 2 players. To defend this, we would recommend staying on your toes and using quick feet to get around the shooter to intercept this pass. We would also recommend that a player is always marking the GA so this situation doesn't occur.
I hope this helps,
