COACHING POINTS

BLOCKTACKLE

When : in small spaces (crowed) and circle you want to defend with your whole stick, covering lots of space + your feet.

Goal block tackle: the opponent thinks he is far enough from you, but all of the sudden you step forward, limit the space between you two and block the ball with your whole stick.

The prey tactic: wait till opponent makes mistake, then attack


The block tackle skill:
2 hands, V grip, hands apart to be strong
*  1 feet forward, 1 feet backwards like you are going to run
* Suddenly one big lunge forward and stretching stick out to ball. Shaft stick against ball. Left hand on the ground, wrist tight.
