Defense

Tips for Defensemen to set you on your way to on-field success.

Sliding Defense

Posted in .
If a man leaves to back up on a dodge, the whole defense slides a man, leaving the man farthest from the ball open.

Crease Defensemen

Posted in .
Only in extreme cases, should the defense man on the crease leave to back up. Example: To stop a play that would end up in a score.

Keeping Up

Posted in .
Never cross your feet while playing an attack man unless you are forced to run to keep up with him.

Don’t Just Chuck it

Posted in .
Never throw a ball just to get rid of it.

Never Rake a Ground Ball

Posted in .
Always scoop a loose ball. Never draw (rake) it. If there is a crowd, go through and either kick it or scoop it up.

Checking

Posted in .
When you check, make your check short and hard, making your check across the man’s forearm and following through with your body. Never raise your stick high to check.
