Details
Angle awareness is a fundamental visual skill that helps players understand how their position affects what they can see on the field. At this level, the focus is on basic observation rather than strategy.
Players should begin by noticing how shifting a few inches left or right changes their field of vision. These small adjustments can make obstacles appear larger or smaller and can influence how easily a player sees around them. Understanding these visual shifts helps beginners feel more oriented behind cover.
When checking around an obstacle, beginners should move slowly and maintain steady upper body posture. This prevents sudden exposure and reduces the chance of losing balance. The goal is not tactical advantage; it is developing controlled, predictable visual habits.
The relationship between marker alignment and visibility is another foundational concept. Keeping the marker aligned with the player's viewpoint helps create a consistent visual reference. If the marker is held too low or too far to one side, it can block vision or create unnecessary distractions.
By developing basic angle awareness, players gain a more grounded understanding of how visibility changes with small movements. This supports future learning without introducing advanced mechanics prematurely.
