Technique tips

  1. Prepare for changes of direction by keeping your center of mass low and your steps short when approaching a turn.
  2. Increase intensity gradually, especially at the start of a session or after a break.
  3. Stay aware of space to reduce avoidable collisions with other participants or field boundaries.
  4. Drink fluids as needed and stop activity if you feel unwell, dizzy, or unable to control your movement safely.
