- effective movement off the ball is crutical
- players actively need to post up to create space by accelerating away from a defender quickly to draw defender out of or into an area
Posting up Stages
- leading run made away from defender & post up towards ball carrier indicating ready to receive ball
- if received: open stick side, taking ball slightly in front before peeling strongly to left in a wide arc (rolling out) to face forward & continue attacking
- if not received: leads away from ball carrier, opening movement/ passing channels & look for another opportunity to post up
- make sure ball doesnt contact feet during rolling out
- on the move all the time, not static
- don't get too close to ball carrier during leading run
- stick should be used as a signal/cue to ball carrier
- timing is crutical
- high left elbow when receiving ball
- pre-scanning before receiving ball helps to best place 1st touch & identify possible options
