Instructions

  1. 1CB drives toward PV while PV adjusts screen position near the 9m line
  2. 2CB passes to PV after using the screen to draw D-CB into contact
  3. 3PV receives and rolls hard toward the 6m line, accelerating past D-PV
  4. 4WR pushes up on the right wing to prevent defensive help from collapsing
  5. 5PV arrives at close range near the goal with the ball in shooting position
  6. 6PV finishes with a quick standing shot before the defense can recover

Coaching Points

  • PV sets the screen with a wide base and does not lean — a moving screen is illegal
  • CB dribbles directly at D-CB's outside shoulder to force them into the screen
  • The roll begins the instant CB passes the screen — PV must not wait for the pass
  • CB delivers the pass to PV's inside hand as PV rolls toward the 6m line
  • PV finishes without hesitation — receiving a roll-and-catch so close to goal is a high-percentage shot

Common Mistakes

  • PV leans into the screen or moves their feet during contact, resulting in a moving screen foul
  • CB dribbles too far from the screen, allowing D-CB to slip through without contact
  • PV rolls too early before CB uses the screen, leaving the screen without purpose
  • CB delivers the pass to PV's outside hand, forcing PV to spin away from the goal
  • PV hesitates after receiving the roll pass instead of finishing immediately
