Although kicking to the hotspot isn''t seen much at AFL level these days, it''s still the most dangerous place for the ball to be delivered at local level. This drill teaches players to position themselves front and square of a kick to the hotspot, requiring judgement of the ball in flight, and sprinting ability to get there first.

AFL Exercises For Players: Sprint, Suck It In, Kick a Goal.
Sprint, Suck It In, Kick a Goal.

When midfielders and defenders sprint forward and take an attacking mark within goalscoring range, they will often be spent after the run, resulting in inaccuracy in front of goals. This drill makes players sprint forward to present a marking option, then relax and compose themselves before concentrating hard to kick the goal while fatigued.
