Few can argue the importance of winning the ball at the centre bounce and taking it out of the centre square. Quick movement of the ball from the centre assists the forwards by leaving them 'one out' against an opponent. Examples of centre bounce formations are: (a) 'Best Players In'
Given the importance of the bounce in the centre circle, the most aggressive ball players should be involved in the contest. This may mean leaving a skilful rover out of the square for the centre bounce. (b) 'Man Up'
An alternative approach is to have your players 'man up' the opposition at the centre bounce. They should be instructed to stand between the opposition and the ball. This tactic is often used as a defensive measure when the opposition has scored two or three quick goals.
