Tactics in Football

The counter attack in football-This is an attacking tactic which allows your team to have more space on the attack on goal as the operation have the ball on the press towards your goal they leave gaps and space which make it easier to attack when you win possession to make the attack as efficient as possible you need to play the ball through to a player in the space there team have just moved out of on the attack towards you this means there players are out of position allowing you to be through on goal with one or two passes catching the team out of possession.

Formations in football-The coach’s choice of formation is usually dictated by the type of players a team has. A coach may also change his team’s formations during a game to adapt with different situations this can allow easier attacks as a positive but can mean you are easier to attack against if the formation in not suitable for the team you are playing against.

The park the bus tactic in football- this is a defensive tactic that mean you move a lot more players into the defensive roles on the pitch during different situations for example if you are winning in an important game you play park the bus to make sure you secure the win for the team.

Switching the ball across the pitch. This is an attacking and defending tactic but mostly attacking as the ball is played from side to side moving the opposition either tiring them out or not allowing them enough time to move across this allows a player to pass the ball into the space created on the side where the team are not able to move quick enough and are able to get passed the defense and possibly cross the ball in for an attack on the ball.

Volleyball tactics

Formations-the correct formation will give you an advantage over the team and allow you to be one step ahead of the opponent as your player is in a better position which it works the same way if you have a bad formation it allows the opponent to counter your player not in the good positions.

serving-The 2 types of serving shots are a floater and top spin.

-Floater is just tossing and hitting the ball with your palm through the centre of the ball.

-Topspin is a shot when you toss the ball and hit the ball with your palm but contact with the ball below the centre of the ball making it have top spin which both require skill in there own way some more than the other.

Communication-Communication plays an important role in volleyball. In volleyball communication is a great tactic for attacking and defending. This is because your team is communicating to each other who are taking the shot and whose ball it is. Therefore it makes the game much easier and therefore prevents any collisions overall preventing injuries.

Blocking-There are two main types of block in volleyball which include Area blocking and Read blocking. Area blocking is when the blockers have predetermine what area they are going to take away from the hitters.

Blocking strategy usually consists of taking away the oppositions most likely shot (area they are most likely going to hit to) with the defence covering the other area of the court.

Read blocking. Teams with bigger blockers and not so great defensive players may use the strategy of read blocking.

With this strategy, blockers are allowed to try and read the hitters during the attack. Blocking decisions are made on the fly and where a blocker is going to block can be unpredictable.

Obviously this is good that your opponents don’t know what you’re blocking, but a lot of times neither do your defenders.

The Block in Volleyball

-Be ready at all times timing is the most important aspect in Volleyball as the more perfect the timing the more efficient the shot or block may be.

-Keep your knees bent shoulder width apart square on at the net this allows you to keep your balance and generate more power to get a higher jump.

-Swing your arms as your jumping to generate more power to make you go a bit higher making the block more efficient.

-Keep your arms high and shoulders bent to allow your arms to be strong making your arms not getting beaten by the power of shot.

Make sure your palms are facing the net as it reduces time to get into position.

-make sure your half an arms length away from the net to allow you not to touch the net and give away their point and result in a violation.

The Spike

The spike-

-Get into position. The rules of volleyball state that in order to strike the ball over the net, you must be a front row player. It's most effective to strike the ball from the right or left side at a sharp downward angle

-Watch the setter. The person playing the centre position will set the ball high in your direction, arcing it so that it falls close to the net in a position that makes it easy to spike it to the other side.

-Assume the correct stance. Face the ball and bend your knees so you're ready to move.

-Take your first step toward the ball. Take a strong first step with your left foot in the direction of the ball. If you're left-handed, do the reverse.

-Take a second powerful step. Step with your right foot to build speed. At the same time, swing your arms back behind you to prepare for the strike.

-Take a final step to square your feet. Step again with your left foot and end with your feet shoulder width apart and your knees bent. Your arms should be swung back behind you.

-Jump as the ball falls into position. As your last step lands, your body should be turned at 30 degrees from the net with your hitting shoulder further from the net. Jump explosively upward and swing your arms forward at the same time to jump high into the air. The higher you jump, the more powerful your strike will be.

-Rear your hand back to strike. As you reach the height of your jump, your arms should swing above your head.

-Hit the ball with the centre of your hand. Keep your hand open with your fingers together. Rotate your arm at the shoulder and whip your forearm forward to move your hand quickly toward the ball and make contact. Snap your wrist downward to impart topspin and direct the ball down into your opponent's court.

The Dig in Volleyball
