Spacing yourself far enough away from your opponent so you’re not clumped up while also close enough to do enough damage is a tough task. Spacing plays a fundamental role in every sport and Halo is no different.

Teaching an individual – let alone a team – spacing may be one of the most difficult things a coach has to do. Careful analysis of video footage, especially your own, plays a crucial role in this learning process. Teams who space themselves properly demonstrate a clear understanding of map control and their teammates behaviors. While it comes with experience, it can be learned faster by team awareness of individual roles (through communication and planning) and a constant reassessment of where the spacing collapsed.
