Coaching points
(1.20)
Players should stay light on their feet.
Keeping knees bent and being nice and low is important.
When gathering the ball, players should keep their eye on the ball and when offloading keep their eye on player they are offloading to.
In a game there can be lots of things going on, mistakes will be made when your players get distracted.
So coaching your players to pay attention to the task at hand is key.
