• Next, a defender comes to stand in front of the take-off lady.
• Now you see that, if you do not keep the ball up, it will be difficult for the receiver to see it
• So if you hold the ball up high, she can see which way you are going to pass and can therefore react properly
• If she does not get free, check the position of the defender, make sure you are playable and the person taking the ball steps outagain
• Again with the defender, but now you pretend to throw.
