What counts as a shot at goal?

Shot clock · Rule 17.1

A valid attempt clearly targets goal and enters it, is blocked by a goalkeeper's or defender's paddle, rebounds from the frame, or misses and goes out within four metres either side of the goal.

How it works

A valid attempt clearly targets goal and enters it, is blocked by a goalkeeper's or defender's paddle, rebounds from the frame, or misses and goes out within four metres either side of the goal. A ball falling short and remaining in play is not a qualifying shot for a reset.

In a game

A shot strikes the goal frame and rebounds to the attacking team.

Remember

A ball falling short and remaining in play is not a qualifying shot for a reset.
