When
the ball goes out of play or the whistle is blown by a referee each team member
should react quickly to the change in play, (e.g. If the opposition were
attacking and a free throw has been awarded against them, then your team has
gained possession and you should change quickly from defending to attack). Look
at the referee and
see
the signal that is being displayed and react quickly
accordingly.
Do not use ball out of play as a resting
period but use it to get into position for attack or defence as need be. (e.g.
If the opposition team has gained possession of the ball then drop back
immediately or mark an opposition player).
Always
look for a ‘quick break’ if your team has just gained possession of the
ball.
Likewise try to cover any ‘quick break’
by the opposition team when they gain possession.
Don’t
forget to present the ball when taking the throw or you will be blown up by the
referee and lose possession for your team!
