GENERAL RULES
Make the ball yours! The tackle isn't finished until YOU have the ball on the end of your stick
When the other team have the ball, get back to defend and mark their players.

DO NOT JUST FOLLOW THE BALL! -You each have areas of the pitch that you are responsible for. Be aware of any opposition players creeping into your zone and make sure that you put pressure on them.
MOST IMPORTANT RULE
Closest player to the ball carrier - run to the ball, don't back off!
