Tips:

  • Brummie says:

    Timing and positioning is everything with handler movement; take every advantage you're given

    While some teams prefer to run everything through their handlers, the biggest thing you gain from running a weave is generating simple continuation throws downfield. So get into the habit of always looking for a continuation throw after every catch.
