Defending Tips : Jab Tackle

The jab can be used as a form of delay either to dispossess a player with the ball if the ball is away from the stick or to tempt the player to take their eyes off the ball and possibly lose possession.

Coaching Points
* the stick jabs out towards the ball with the left hand and then returns to both
hands
* after the jab the defender returns to the original balanced position
* the grip on the stick will change slightly, the hands turn, usually palms
upwards
