Taking a Charge!!

There are numerous reasons to sacrifice your body for the good of the team and take a charge. Taking charges:

• Adds one more team foul to the opposing team leading to quicker penalty situations
• May give the other team's best player an additional foul, impacting his availability
• Can make players on the other team tentative to drive the ball to the basket
• Creates a turnover and makes one less opportunity for opponents to score
• Can give your team extra energy and an emotional boost........charges can be contagious!
