Hey everyone!
Over the years, there has been a fair amount of people who have asked me for Lockdown training. Therefore, I developed a training sheet with directions on how to meet and achieve goals to become a top Lockdown player. Once you run these practice drills and successfully complete each level, I provided you with a ranking sheet below to help raise yourselves up with the highest competitive players.
**The ranking sheet will be categorized by player's skill level. (Levels 2 through 10. Level 1 players just tend to be the least competitive players)
Ranking sheet is posted at the bottom.
The training is divided into 5 focus points: Precision, Speed, Range, Survival, and Carry
You can find my reference points, concepts, and definitions by clicking here.
