Dodging
When dodging, a player may use body actions that mislead the defending player. It enables the attacking player to go past the defender and score goals with ease.
Marking
Marking is a defensive action that limits the chances of attacking players gaining possession of the ball.
Qualities of a good player
Observant – the marking player needs to pay attention to the attackers who are likely to gain possession of the ball and drive forward
Good positioning– ability to position himself or herself appropriately between the attacking player and their defending goal
Quick time reaction – this helps the marking player respond to unexpected tactical actions by the attacking players.
Resilience and persistence – the marking player should never give up on playing a defensive role.
Communication – good marking is a product of communicating with teammates to develop a suitable plan or approach to counter the playing actions of the attacking teams
Courageous – a good marker should be courageous to withstand non-avoidable contacts that may occur during one on one tackling situations
Peripheral vision – a player who is marking needs to see what is happening around him or her and not just focuses on the player being marked alone.
