Lax Tips
Tips for Players to set you on your way to on-field success.
Playing Your Man
A. If the ball is out front, and your man is behind the goal, play on the pipe of the cage on the side of the goal your man is on. B. If the ball is behind the goal and your man is behind also although without the ball, go behind with him.
Clearing the Ball
When clearing the ball, as you catch it, circle away from your stick side if you are moving in to receive the pass.
Screen Shots
Never let an attack man clamp your stick. If you are on the crease on a screen shot, stop it or catch it, if you can’t do either then move out of the way so that your goalie can see it.
No Loafing
Once the other team has cleared the ball, all defense men must drop in fast, RUN HARD – THIS IS ONE TIME YOU CANNOT LOAF.
Make Sharp Clearing Passes
On clears, make all passes sharp, away from the (attack man) and, as a general rule, to the nearest open man.
