1.1 Conviction Although I accept percentage passing, target must be selected in advance and the body reflexes given the command to hit or push with conviction. Half hearted or slap dash efforts are not acceptable.

1.2 Captain Deb is to be captain today and is to handle all on field decisions that might arise. Frin is to be vice captain.

1.3 Interface If your team-mates make big effort to run to position (esp. Wings and CF) and you hold & loose ball they will be annoyed.

1.4 Terms We will play our way and not just respond to opponents. We will be the ones that decide on how we play and we will be the ones that "Make it Happen".

Full-backs and Centre-Half are to take possession of the ball and initiate attacks with the help of the Wing-Halves. Ball is to be passed to Insides to Wings to Centre-Forward to Inside to other Inside to Winger (to defect into goal or to Centre-Forward to goal).

Georgie to LW

Karen to LFB

4.1 FBs start high & Channel to win 16 yd hit - tackle once have cover just before opponents entry to circle

4.2 Wing Halves back up FBs & hold opponent winger. WHs provide back outlet and pick up loose balls.

4.3 Centre- Half If team cannot go forward then go back to CH for switch. CH to hold middle & especially top of circle

4.4 Inners to hit from 25 to wing on post or wide to where circle meets goal line ( from goal-line to CF on spot)- switch before hit from 25 yard-line. Non play-side inner to come back on opponent inner from midfield to our defending 16 yd area

4.5 Wingers are to be our outlet player in defence. In attack Wingers are to take up position on Goal-line or Post to score goals

5.1 In Attack Be deliberate & definite - percentage - reduce interception at risk of missing target

5.2 In Defence Hold off while dummy poke tackling (channel or hold) & rely on intercept. Never let opponent with ball get, past inners or backs.

5.3 Improvise Be alert to improvise if any planned move does not occur immediately (if team-mate forgets role or physically cannot make position).

5.4 Pass Early In 95% of cases use lay-off or thru ball to get past opponent rather than take-on opponent.

6.1 Attacking Short Corners - hit-alternate -Mary Lou at goal Ann for deflection

                                            - push out-Deb or LW if Deb off ground-be on left post

                                              - stick stop - Frin or ? if Frin off ground

6.2 Attacking Long Corners - Winger to Frin (or Deb if Frin off) to far Winger on far post

6.3 Defending Short Corners - First runner - Karen from left of Coral

                                                Second runner - Jan Maree from outside our left post

                                                Right poster - Liz

                                                Left Post - Anne (Wendy H if Anne off field)

6.4 Defending Long Corners - Man on man marking

6.5 Centre Push-backs

- CF to CH to RH who takes ball up to opponents drilling thru ball to CF of RW.

6.6 Sideline Hit-ins (FB/WH/W) - 1st option is hit hard early thru hole

                                                2nd option is play on

6.7 Mid-field hits (CH) - 1st option is hit hard early thru hole

•                                 2nd option is play on
•                                 3^rd option is to rebound to WH

6.10 Defending 16 yd Hits - Mark-up close goal-side of opponents but take risk of intercepting if opportunity arises.
