Slot

The slot is the part of the field where you have to show your opponent that this is your area and he has to keep away from it or even move in it with caution. Show him your point of view with your body language and stand up when you caught a ball and go a few steps forward to push them out of your territory. However, if a striker finds the shot in the slot, you have no time to react. You already have to be ready to block the ball. The distance is that short, that it is very unlikely to catch the ball. Therefore it is important that you and your teammates are ready to defuse the rebound. Positioning and scanning is the key to success.
