Title – Movement deception and calls

Description

Pods practice pre-call deception: late movements, dummy steps, and tempo changes to unbalance contests.

Purpose

Enhance caller-jumper-lifter timing and disguise.

Learning Outcomes

  • Deception without chaos
  • Clear call language
  • Late acceleration to lift

Equipment

  • Cones

Setup

Caller sets patterns (e.g., 2, 4, fake 2 to 4). Defenders try to read. Score successful uncontested catches vs steals.
