Description
*** AUDIO DESCRIPTION ON ***
Coaches Objective:
To teach the attacker to eliminate the defender by making them commit to a reverse stick tackle before dragging the ball back and eliminating them on their open stick side.
Purpose:
Defenders will often look to channel attackers onto their open stick side as it's easier to make a tackle and harder to eliminate as an attacker. Therefore, getting them to commit on their reverse stick side and eliminate on their open stick side can be a huge advantage.
Coaching points
- The ball is carried at 1 o'clock on the open stick side and the attacker approaches the defender in a position to pass or drag the ball either way, allowing movement in either direction causing indecision due to a lack of cues for the defender to read.
- The ball is moved relatively slowly left to the forehand side of the defender - the defender will know this is a dummy and expect the attacker to attempt to eliminate on the other side.
- A quick drag to the defenders reverse side will shift their balance and stick to this side.
- The final quick drag back to the defenders open side will eliminate the defender -it's the speed of the drag and ball position that beats the defender in this instance.
