Deceleration & Lowering · Maintaining a low body center of gravity — PREPARATIONUse a non-slip 4 m lane with a stop marker. Anchor the band securely and check wear before beginning; choose low tension.1PREPARATIONUse a non-slip 4 m lane with a stopmarker.

COACH EXECUTION CARD

Practical on-court execution

Starting coaching cues to adapt for player level, squad size and readiness.

01 · Purpose

Technical / tactical target

Protect technique when stopping from defensive movement.

02 · Setup

Court and equipment

Use a non-slip 4 m lane with a stop marker.

Anchor the band securely and check wear before beginning; choose low tension.

03 · Execution

Progressive steps

  1. Approach the marker progressively at controlled speed.
  2. Lower the center of mass before the stop, knees aligned.
  3. Hold the defensive base then exit toward a new indicated target.
04 · Applied progression

Maintaining a low body center of gravity

Keep hips mobile and lower only as much as needed without collapsing the back.

No separately verified photograph exists for this constraint. See the parent setup reference image.

Suggested dose

3 sets × 5 stops each side.

Success criterion

No extra balance hops or knee valgus.

Safety and adaptation

Increase speed only after consistent stop mechanics.
