About short accelerations
The circle runner
can - no matter where she is placed - use a short explosion-like move
to free herself in that moment where the defender's attention is elsewhere,
or a short but not so fast a move in a numbering majority where there
is a hole in the defense in order to receive the ball or create a hole
for an attacking team-mate. The short acceleration can also be used
when a defender next to the circle runner moves forward to block a shot
or a playing possibility. This short moment can be used to take advantage
of the free space behind the defender. In order to make use of the
short accelerations the players must learn to move at the right moment
and with the correct speed to prevent the defenders to have the time
to close the gab in the defense.
