| Once you have learned to pick up the ball you need to learn the footwork in order to approach the ball. Different flickers use different techniques. I will deal with two techniques and two sets of footwork. | |
| The flicker starts approximately 2 yards from the ball with their right foot leading. The flicker moves his left foot first so it is parallel with the top of the circle. |  |

| The flicker then moves his right foot to cross in front of the left foot and land in front of the ball. It is important to maintain a steady and consistent distance when landing the right foot in front of the ball. The lateral distance between the ball and the right foot should also be kept consistent. |  |
