Coaching Points

  • Call loudly and clearly before moving — your teammate must hear you
  • Give a specific position call: 'Open left wing' not just 'Open'
  • Make eye contact with the passer before cutting
  • Move as soon as you call — don't wait for acknowledgment
  • The receiver calls, the passer decides — respect that split of responsibility
