Principles of Play

• Tactics and strategies are often based upon or
  can be improved by applying principles of play.
• Hockey - Width Attacking on a wide front
  spreads out the defence and gives the attack more
  alternatives. More gaps are opened up in the
  opposing defence. The defence which is marking a
  wide attack is less compact therefore weaker.
