  TO GET BACK THE BALL.

Suite 

The blocks.

 

 

 
 To block with the push on facial attack.The stick is held with two hands pass in behaviour left hand the point of the head downwards. The ball is attacked always with the flat side of the stick. The center of gravity undergoes a translation forwards for that the ball remains between the feet.The position of the leg forwards allows the faster sequence of a counter after recovery .

 
  To block with the flick on the facial attack. The stick which was held with two hands passes to the behaviour left hand only.The defender attacks the ball with the flat side of the stick with he point of this one towards the top. At the same time, he advances the left leg towards the adversary while remaining on its two supports an by lowering its center of gravity.He must avoid leaving in anterior unbalance.

 

 
 To block with the push on the right side of the adversary. The stick is held with the left hand. It is carried towards the ball with a rotation of the trunk.To note, also,need of a good balancing to avoid the bodies contacts.

 

 

 To block with the flick on the left side of the adversary. The stick is held with the left hand., it is forbidden to touch the body of adversary and/or to strike the stick of this one.

The rake:The stick is held with one hand and the defender is in the face of the attacker with a ball. The objective of the defender is to put his stick on the ground and to make it a circular movement. The ball is thus pushed laterally then recovered.

 

The dribbles and the pretences.

  Small bridge.In this gesture, the ball is passed between the legs of the adversary then recovered. For to realise this , it is necessary " to fix" the adversary. Thus it will not be able to intervene on the process .
-------------

 

 Large bridge: Here , the ball is passed on a side of the adversary then recovered after overflowing it on the other side. it is imperatively necessary to fix the adversary and to oblige it to attack the ball. The unbalance of this will make it possible either to realise the large bridge or the overflow.

 

 The dribbles with the beams. The beams can be considered as a partner. The rebound being authorised,the carrier of ball is in the face with its adversary. He push the ball towards the beam which with the rebound passes behind the opponent. Then he overflowed the adversary and then the ball is recovered..

 

 

 The dribble : The carrier of ball is in the face with the adversary . After a succession of very shorts displacements in the antero-posterior direction, the ball is pushed towards the adversary then brought back in order to oblige it to attack.Then he overflowed the adversary and then the ball is recovered..

The gesture requires a great control of the handling of ball and a good peripheral vision.

 

Notice on the driving level : The beginners spontaneously use this process but only moving the ball in the frontal direction, from left to right. The ball always remaining with the same distance from the adversary, it is easily recovered. Thus it is important to want at the players to work to have a good antero-posterior handling. Situation which is worked in statics or moving.
