When a team is on the attack mode in the opponent's goal area, players must be ready to frame.Framing refers to anticipating where the ball will rebound when a shot on goal is taken.If the keeper ends up with the ball, the opponent will redistribute and the forwards must retreat.If the keeper or other defender doesn't end up with the ball shot on goal, it is because it either bounced off the goal or one of the defenders, including the keeper.
By anticipating that the defense does not conquer the ball, an offensive player without the ball in particular, but also the player taking the shot on goal must quickly judge where the ball may rebound to.That player can then "follow up" the rebound and either take another shot on goal or take possession.
Framingis a large part of the mental part of the game.Physically a player must shift to a position of anticipation.Mentally the player must realize first where this is most likely to be.Things to judge are the speed of the ball, the geometric angle of rebound (like a billiard ball off the bumpers).
