In this video we're going to teach you how to draw a foul using a quarter turn. First
we will break it down, then we will teach you how to use it as a shooting opportunity outside
of five meters. Let's get started. The first step is 'up and in.' We cover this skill in our first
'How to Draw a Foul' video. The difference here is that we're going in on an angle rather than
going straight in. Picture a clock face with the defender at 12 o'clock. In the first 'How to Draw
a Foul' video we went up and in and straight to 12 o'clock. This time you will either go
to 10 o'clock or 2 o'clock depending on which arm you use to hold the ball. I'm left-handed
so you can see me go up and in and towards 10 o'clock. If you're right-handed you will go up
and in towards 2 o'clock you can practice these angles going up and into a defender,
or if you're by yourself, you can practice them going into a wall.
You either pin your man with your off arm or hook them around their
midsection depending on where the defenders arm is. Now keep in mind, when you pin them,
you want to pin them underneath the water. You don't want to be pinning them up here,
that's gonna be an offensive foul. You want to pin them down here,
underneath the water. Quick review: up and in,
shade the strong side and pin or hook the defender with your off arm.
Next step: Quarter Turn. It's important when doing the quarter turns to stay on your pivot foot. If
I'm left-handed my pivot foot is going to be my right foot and when I do my quarter turns
my right foot stays where it is and my left foot goes around in a circle. So quarter turn,
quarter turn quarter turn, quarter turn. Notice I'm in the same spot that I started
as opposed to going off your circle, quarter turning back quarter turning back quarter turn
leaning back turning back. I'm moving and traveling and that's not what I want. If
you don't quarter turn correctly, you'll end up turning away from the defensive player and that
looks like this. I go up and in and then I quarter turn away from her and I'm off,
as opposed to going up and in and then quarter turn I'm still into her, that's what you want.
Now we're going to draw the foul. Here I have just finished my quarter turn I'm going to create
contact and push into my man with my off arm while simultaneously pushing the ball in the water.
Let's put it all together. Keep in mind this shooting sequence must take place
outside of five meters. I'm gonna get the defender pinned on my right side so I have
no shot blocking arm in front of me. Up and in, shade the strong side for a turn,
no defense. So now let's take a look at what happens if I just go up and straight into her
and draw the foul straight back and try to shoot the ball. I go up and in and now I'm trying to
shoot right through a field block. Also, look how much further out I am from the goal. Drawing
the foul back here as opposed to the quarter turn. Now I'm shooting it here, further back,
and through a field block as opposed to doing the quarter turn closer in, and no field block. For
