Balanced Attack Stance

Explanation: A well balanced attack stance is vital for any player learning the game. This is because being in this point of balance in relation to the ball will allow players to pass or shoot the ball in any direction, stop suddenly and dribble quickly whilst keeping the ball under control at all times.

Description: When setting up in the balanced attack stance position both shoulders and feet should be facing the ball. The feet should be about shoulder width apart with the weight on the balls of the feet, and knees flexed. The hips should also be lowered slightly.

Make sure the head is forward, try to keep it above the knees and steady. Bend forward, leading with the shoulders, towards the ball.

Keep arms out in front of the body. Hands should be separated with the right hand near the bottom of the grip and the left hand at the top of the grip.

Keep the head of the stick on the ground and close to the ball when in possession.
