goal shooter
A goal shooter is a position in the sport of netball, primarily responsible for scoring goals. This player typically stands close to the goal post and aims to convert passes from teammates into points by shooting the ball through the hoop. The goal shooter must have strong shooting skills and good positioning to receive the ball effectively.
In netball, the goal shooter works alongside a goal attack, who helps create scoring opportunities. The role requires excellent hand-eye coordination and the ability to read the game, as the shooter must anticipate where the ball will be and how to best position themselves for a successful shot.
