Coaching Points

  • Shift as one unit — the last player to move sets the timing for everyone
  • Maintain the defensive wall's compactness throughout the shift — no gaps
  • Keep your feet active during the shift — shuffle steps, do not cross feet
  • Call 'shift right' or 'shift left' before initiating so every player moves together
  • Wall integrity matters more than individual positioning — stay in line
