If Your Opponent Does This Then Try These

In games your opponents will try to do things that will help them beat you. When they do these things there are one or more ways you can counter what they are doing and give yourself the advantage.

This is a contribution page and everyone is invited to submit things opponents do and/or things you can do to counter what your opponents do. Please use the Feedback form at the bottom of this page.

Format on this page:

• What opponent's do is in "blue".
• What you can do to counter what the opponent does is in "red".

1. When to Take a Step Back
Your attacking opponent with their back to you and your teams goal wants to know where you are, but doesn't want to take their eyes off of the ball to turn to see where you are. So they put their hand behind them or step back to try to touch you so they will know if you are directly behind them.
Your opponent will know where you are if they touch you, so take a step back just as they try to touch you and they won't know where you are. Then they will have to take their eyes off of the ball and turn to see where you are.
