REACT & RID for November 8, 2012

REACT moment for November 8, 2012

Attacking ball carrier uses the defenders momentum to defeat him.

Real Time:
Did I channel first?
Did I approach to take away an option?
Did I utilize a bounce step?

Immediate:
Remind yourself to channel first, close down second.
Remind yourself to approach R shoulder to R shoulder or L to L to make attacker predictable.
During the next dead ball quickly practice a bounce step or two .

Delayed:
Practicing with a partner in a 10 yd x 20 yd grid.  Serve to your partner on a diagonal then channel first, close down at an angle (the ? approach) second, bounce step and churn your feet to eaiser maintain containment.  If you do not have a partner, use a kick back wall or a bench - play the ball against the surface and then channel, close down, bounce step and contain in front of the returning ball.
