The shooters stand left, middle and right with a ball each. One player stands behind the goal with a ball.
How to run it
The goalie practises getting set for shots from three angles and following the ball behind the goal and out into the slot. The shooters get plenty of finishes.
Set-up
Three shooters with a ball at discs on the left, in the middle and on the right about 7 m from goal. One player with a ball behind the goal. Goalie in goal.

Coaching points
- Set up on the line between the ball and the middle of the goal – check the posts with a quick glance.
- Be still and in the ready stance when the shot comes. Move before it, not during it.
- Follow the ball behind the goal with your head and seal the post.
- The shooters wait until the goalie is ready – quality before tempo.
Variations
Easier
Shots from further out and less power. No pass from behind the goal.
Harder
