- then use stick to cushion ball across body until its on their open stick side (right hand side)
- skill most likely used when there is little chance of opposition intercepting the ball
- Alternative: reverse stick side
- focus on ball whilst receiving to ensure contact is made
- sideways & stick positioning open stick on player's left hand side
- pre-scanned before receiving to enable them to adjust body positioning correctly
- feet move away from ball carrier & in direction ball is travelling enables flows & forward momentum
- to transfer ball to right hand side (open stick) without using reverse stick, receiver adjusts foot & body position slightly to left as ball travels across their body
- don't run towards ball to try & receive it early as momentum will carry receiver forwards
- keep stick in contact with ball & cushion ball as it crosses the body - allows more control
