Things happen too fast during a game for one player to keep it all straight without the help of teammates. Good player-to-player communication is a key requirement for a winning team.
Good times for players to communicate are when they are:
- Able to help a teammate make a play
- Open for a pass
- Going to a new location
- Being crowded by a teammate
- Need help from teammates.
Good communications help other players know what to expect and allow the team to work together. Good communications are always spoken with words to prevent confusion with players on opposing teams.
