The long barrier technique is used in all striking and fielding games, including cricket, softball, stoolball, and rounders.

## Long Barrier Teaching Points

- The lower half of one leg should be placed vertically along the ground, creating a barrier in a one-kneed kneeling position. 
- The foot of the supporting leg should be brought close to the knee, increasing the length of the barrier. 
- The hands should be brought around in front of the leg and foot, ready to receive the ball.
- Ensure you are in line with the ball before getting into position.
