Players
Do not fear failure. If you are constantly worried about messing up you will always grip your stick too tight and never be able to play to your potential. And with that, Give 100%, 100% of the time. If you are going hard and you are passionate about what you are doing, it doesn’t matter if you make a mistake, you just learn from it. Everyone makes mistakes, it’s about having a short memory, becoming better from the mistake, and worrying about executing the next play.
Don’t Turn Your Back to the Ball
Posted in Defense.
After the man you are playing throws a ball, step back two steps quickly and be ready for a cut. Also always look in the direction of the ball as you drop off. Don’t turn your back on the ball.
Playing the Pass
Posted in Defense.
As the man you are playing starts a pass, check across his arms, but don’t step in.
Playing Your Man
Posted in Defense.
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
Posted in Defense.
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
Posted in Defense.
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.
