Attack
Tips for Attackmen to set you on your way to on-field success.
Balance the Field
Always keep your field balanced in order that you stay in better position to back up, and give your teammates space to work in.
Take Quality Shots
Shoot plenty, but only if you feel you have a good shot. Shoot to get hot, shoot to stay hot.
Time Your Cuts
Time your cuts, don’t cut if the man with the ball is not watching or not in position to pass.
Cut Hard and Fast
Make full cuts – go through and out – don’t cut at half speed or hang around the crease after your cut.
Zigs and Zags
Zig your cuts, fake left – go right, fake right – go left. Don’t always run at the same speed, change of pace is a very effective method of getting open.
After the Clear
After the ball has been cleared, if you have a wide-open opportunity to dodge, do it. If you are sure a man is open, pass to him, settle the ball down, and let your attack get set up. Remember, after a clear, the midfielders will need time to catch their breath. Middies rest on offense, not defens…
Try Some Dodges
Every man on the attack should try at least two dodges every game. Learn at least three different types of dodges.
