How to play in GD and GK?

Ok i played on the weekend in 2 places i hate and never have played usally. I usally play WA. But my coach put me in GD and GK she was amazed of how well i was in GD so she put me there for the next quater then she moved me to GK and i was also good at that. Seeing as i am usally a WA i move away from the player it sort of helped at times then i my teams remind me that i was meant to be defending. I am not that good at defending so what are some tips to play in GD and DK because my coach told me i am playing there this weekend

Question about blocking in Defence

Is a defence allowed to block a shooter from entering the circle with their body but not using their arms?

Jodie Power Coach, New Zealand

Can you have arms raised while waiting for rebound?

Can a shooter or defender stand under the goal ring with arms raised waiting for shot to be taken if they are within 3 feet of opposition player. They are not defending the player taking the shot. eg: GA was taking shot, GD was defending the shot. GS was standing directly in front of GK with her arms raised waiting to see if shot was to be rebounded.

GS/GA Movement to get into a shooting position

Hi everyone, I'm a GS/GA and I shoot well but I struggle to make opportunities for myself to shoot in games. It is slightly better when I play GS if i stay in the circle, but when I play GA or come out, it has happened that I haven't shot at all. I either get blocked from going in the circle straight away or am too slow to position myself. Could anyone give me some pointers about basic movement? I have watching videos where players roll/cut - if a player is marking you face on and blocking you from entering the D, would that be how I get around them? Could you give me some advice on how to improve from here? Thank you. Asked using Sportplan on Mobile

GETTING THE BALL TO THE SHOOTING CIRCLE

WHICH DRILL IS MOST EFFECTIVE IN GETTING THE BALL TO THE SHOOTING CIRCLE USING LESS PASSES

Dianne Pascall Coach, Trinidad and Tobago

Stepping in the centre circle ...

My centre was penalised for stepping in the centre circle - she took her centre stance and after the whistle was blown she stepped out with one foot. I didnt think a centre had a 'landing foot' at a centre pass, providing both feet are in the circle when the whistle blows, but the umpire said when she returned to the circle she put her left foot in first so that became her landing foot even though play had not been started. I told her just to stay in the circle but I would like to know if the umpire was correct or if she had it wrong

Obstruction in the Circle | Sp...

Tonight we played a team where the GD stood right in front of the GS or GA. He had his back to the shooter(with the ball), he didn't put up an arm but he stood so close (without touching) that the shooter couldn't get any leverage with her shot. If the shooter stepped back he shuffled with her. The umpires didn't pull it up at all. Is this allowed or do they have to be three feet away? Any feedback would be much appreciated, I would just like to know if this is allowed or is it obstruction? Thanks

What a fantastic tool. The Chalkboard and session tools make an unbelievable difference in making training plans in both time and organization. I will be instructing all of my assistant coaches that this tool must be used for all sessions during the season, so that we may build a club coaching resource library.
