Sub-Calling
The most terrifying aspect of captaining or coaching, for many players, is being responsible for deciding who plays, and when. In this issue, we'll discuss the thought processes that go into making these decisions.
In this issue of The Huddle we have asked our roster of authors to dish out advice about strategies for line calling. We gave them a hypothetical: your team's regular sub-caller is becoming curiously mute just before Regionals, and must pass on what she knows about sub-calling to a teammate before she loses her voice completely.
Are there tried-and-true formulas, schemes, and patterns for superior sub-calling? And who makes the best person to call lines? Answers to these questions and more.
If you have any questions or comments feel free to contact us at: info@the-huddle.org.
