Set-up

Server plays ball into channel, attacker runs onto it 1v1 with GK. Rotate attacker and server. Focus on composure in front of goal — not just blasting. Steinmetz gets work in goal with live shots.

Coaching points

  • Head up before the shot — see the GK, pick a corner
  • Kason Mentzer: use the pace, don't slow down to think; trust the run
  • GK: set early, don't dive too soon

Progressions

  • Add a defender 5 yards behind attacker to create urgency
  • Move service point wider to change angle of attack
