Now lets cover three more important movement techniques...

Rushing

Rushing is a quick way to get from point A to point B, and can be
combined with crawling. Rushing should be kept on the short side,
around three seconds, to keep the enemy from tracking players.
To rush, a player will lift his or her head up from their current
crawling position and scan the area for their next move.

Then, they will lower their head, bring their arms and legs closer
to the body and then quickly lift up and run to the next position,
and get back into a crawl. This can be done several times to
strategically get from part of the field to another in the quickest
manner possible.


Moving With Stealth

There are points where players will not be crawling near the
ground. But rather than just walking through the playing area,
they should be moving with stealth. Moving with stealth means
moving quietly, carefully and slowly.

To move stealthily, the weapon should be held in the ready
position. Footing should be kept solid by putting the weight of
the body on the foot that is currently touching the ground, and
letting the toe hit the ground first and not letting the heal hit
until the toe feels solid. Steps should be short to maintain
balance, and the leg should be lifted high when there is high
brush.

So, when thinking about stealth, keep some other S's in mind- slow,
study and solid.
