what jobs does a striker have in a match?

This article tells you what strikers are supposed to do when they're playing in a match. You'll see that you need to do a bit more than score goals!!

What's my job?

  • To learn and improve your skills.

  • If you are within range and you can see the goal - shoot! It's OK to miss and if you don't shoot, you'll never score.


  • Follow your shot. Goalies often drop the ball so make sure you are right in front of them if they do.


  • If you can't get a shot in, try to pass to someone who can. It's just as good to help someone else score a goal as it is to score yourself.


  • If the other side get the ball you are the first line of defence. Always work hard to get the ball back.


  • When it's our goal kick, stand in a place where you can get the ball. Don't just hope the ball will come to you.


  • When it's the other team's goal kick, get to the ball before they do. Watch the goalkeeper - where is she going to kick the ball?
