To make a perfect air shot is very difficult.
It demands an incredible
precision from the player who is making the pass and a very good jump
and ball technique from the shooter.
The learning is made in 3 stages:
1 |
The coach is standing on a chair inside the goal line and
holds a ball loosely in a height, where the players can reach
it with a jump, grasp the ball and shoot while being in the
air. |
2 |
The coach or a player stands inside the goal
line and throws the ball up in the air. The player jumps,
grasp the ball and shoots. |
3 |
Now the real thing can be trained. A player on the backcourt
position throws a ball forward and the wing runs in, jumps,
grasp the ball and shoots. |
When the air shot is well performed on a short distance it can be
trained with longer distances, for example from CB or opposite RB to
LW or reversed.
