• If you are within range and you can see the goal – shoot! It’s okay to miss and, if you don’t shoot, you’ll never score.
• Follow your shot. Goalkeepers often drop the ball, so make sure you are right in front of them if they do.
• If you can’t get a shot in, try to pass to someone who can. It’s just as good to help someone else score a goal as it is to score one yourself.
• If the other side get the ball, you are the first line of defense. Work hard to win the ball back.
• When it’s our goal kick, stand in a place where you can get the ball. Don’t just hope the ball will come to you.
• When it’s the other team’s goal kick, get to the ball before their players do. Watch the goalkeeper – where are they going to kick the ball?
