Shepherding

A player may retard the movement of an opposition player towards that of the ball, however it may only be done
within 5 metres of the ball. Shepherding allows the opposition player to be pushed in the chest or side, or for the
player to place his body between the opposition and the ball (when the player himself is not in possession of the
ball.) Comparable to screens in basketball or blocking in American Football.
