- practice block tackle unopposed
- passive attacking player added, dribbles ball towards defender who makes block tackle
Progression - increase speed of attacking player; make attacker active
defending player need to:
- concentrate on ball during tackle
- prior to block tackle be in basic grip
- tackles can be made with 1 or 2 hands on stick (2 hands (better) = greater strength, 1 hand (left) = greater distance)
- sideways, left foot in front of right foot, low body position
- balls of feet
- hold stick at right angle to line the ball is travelling in
- use whole stick
- time tackle so that its made at last moment to catch opponent off guard, looking for cues such as: when attacking player takes stick off ball/looks away from ball tries to move through line of defender
