Tingara is delighted to have received this support and asks all members to keep mindful of the “Belt

Tips of the month
Players tips & tactics
Coaches tips:
Position:
will
come
from
anticipation, and placing yourself
where you expect the action to be
allows you to be in prime position to
cut off an incoming pass. Being
aggressive and going for these
opportunities makes attackers
uncertain, which causes error.
Players to arrange themselves by
playing area during breaks in the
game. That is have the players form
a semi circle around coaches with
goalies standing together at one
side of the semi circle, centre courts
alongside them then finish with
defenders. This makes it so much
easier to speak to each playing area
as a group and makes the most of
the short breaks.
