Shooting space review
20.A.21.a A defender must not block or guard the goal, with any
part of her body for the purpose of obstructing the
Shooting Space. Obstruction denies the attacking team
the opportunity to shoot safely.
20.A.21.b Obstrcution occurs when a defender is illegally in the
Shooting Space at their own initiation.
20.A.21.c A defender is not obstructing SS if they are:
• Drawn into and / or through the Shooting Space by an
opponent, they are legally marking (1,5 m)
• Standing below GLE
This call should only be made if the ball carrier is looking to shoot and has
the opportunity to shoot. Shooting Space remains an immediate whistle.
