l Backward Position In this case, where there is only one defender near a pivot player, the method of attack depends on the position of the defender. If he is on the right, the pivot player performs a half-turn to the left making the shot while falling (Fig. 8). If the defender is on the left, one should perform a half-turn around the right shoulder. The shot can then be performed using the following technique a player takes-off from his right leg and throws the ball using the right hand, or he takes a step onto the left leg and shoots towards the goal. The most difficult form of the above throw is to combine it with a vertical jump shot. The throw is quite often performed by the players playing in the pivot or wing position. From the position of a pivot player the jump shot while falling can be executed forwards to or sideways from the goal. TEACHING OF SHOTS Shots involve more difficult and complex techniques as compared to passing and catching the ball. Therefore we teach most shooting techniques using the analytic method. We teach them while moving. Their efficiency depends on the ball’s initial velocity. Thus we teach shooting moving slowly at the beginning of the learning process and gradually increasing the speed up to maximum. The direction of shot is roughly described, but after many repetitions we fix particular areas of the goal for the precision of targeting. At all times we emphasize correct performance. Practising the shots, the players must pay attention to the following features: µ to perform a strong shot, it must be executed by the trunk, arm and wrist. µ a shooting player should fake the opponent.
