The wing shot is considered and is the most difficult shot to perform with success. Where a center player has 3 x 2 meter of goal space to shot at, the wing player will only have about 1/2 meter. Besides that a goalkeeper is filling out that space.

Therefore a quite different shooting technique must be used, if a goal is to be made.

It is also important to be able to shoot with the right hand. A right-handed player has the best chance on the left wing and the left-handed player is best at the right wing position.

The most important aspect regarding the wing shot is, that it is not performed standing, but must always be performed as a jump shot. Again the difference between the backcourt players possibilities and the wing possibilities comes forward. As the back court players have plenty of space to receive the ball, perform a 3-step approach, take a dribble and again a 3-step approach, the wing only have the possibility of the 3-step approach, and often not even that.

The jump must not be directly against the goal, but must be a jump as far as possible in front of the goal in such a way that the shooter makes the goal area as big as possible.

The shooter must also master the technique to shoot with the arm above the head (shooting on the inside of the goal) as well as the shot, where the arm is parallel with the floor (shooting on the outside). When the arm is stretched in this way, the goal area will be larger than what the shooter is able to see

Therefore the following applies, when a shot is performed from the wing.
(described for a shooter, who's shooting arm is pointing away from the goal

1.	Be in motion when the pass is received.
2.	When the ball is received the speed must be increased to maximum in order to make the jump as long as possible.
3.	The running in spot must be as close to the defending wing as possible, but not so close that the defender can put herself in front of the shooter.
4.	The jump is made as far as possible against the center of the goal area as possible with the shoulder of the non-shooting arm pointing at the goal.
5.	The shot is made just before.
6.	If the shot is to be placed on the inside of the goal, the shooting arm is brought over the head and in front of the body. If the shot is to be placed on the outside of the goal, the shooting arm is brought parallel to the floor (the arm is stretched out to the side).
