Jab Don't Stab!

‘Stabbing’ is when you lunge for the ball with your back foot, ‘Jabbing’ is when you poke at the ball with your front foot.

When to Stab:

• When the attacker has a poor touch – he lets the ball get too far ahead of him.

• When the attacker is looking down at the ground instead of having his eyes up.

• When you’re in a tight space, like near the sideline or in the corner.
