Loading the line describes a team gathering all their balls at the midline. This preparation allows for a massive and coordinated attack on the opposing side. Six players stand ready with balls in hand at the very center. This formation signals to the opponents that a heavy barrage is coming soon. The goal is to overwhelm the defense with too many balls at once. Teams use this strategy to eliminate multiple opponents in a single quick burst. Coordination is vital so everyone throws at the same target or area. This display of power often forces the other team to retreat backward.
