Put the rules into context
An edge target may beat the keeper but must stay within the posts. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Notice the change in the playing area.
Pay attention to this rule
The keeper reacts after the shot, so aim matters. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
