BEYOND THE FUNDAMENTALS:
TIPS ON MARKING
|
 |
Everyone knows how to mark. As Ben van Heuvelen puts it, the combination of low hips, balance and wide arms are widely perceived as the first steps to a good mark. What do you do once you are playing at a level where a "generally good mark" just isn't good enough? What are the tricks that some of the top players are using?
We noticed, in going through these articles, that most of these tricks are the kind of things that players do after many years of experience at high levels. They are also the kind of things that tend to separate players that could be great defenders from those that tend to be on the field when the team is getting a block. Want to help your team control the offense? Read on to find out how others are doing it (or having it done to them).
