This will be our adjacent slide package when the offense plays without a player on the crease The 1st slide will be either the player to the right of the dodger or the left, if he dodges towards your side your the 1st slide The 2nd slide will be the next player adjacent to the 1st slide The defense will rotate in a circle opposide the direction of the passes This defense will sacrifice the easy adjacent pass to support a potential double team on the dodging player The initial defender must recover if a slide occurs to try not to allow any more than 2 slides as that is when this defense breaks down the quickest
Communication is key! Communication is key! Communication is key! Slide with your stick in front Slide to breakdown and play defense Slide to play body defense and not chase stick The 2 slide can potentially predict a pass and slide early to create a turnover It is a must that we collapse adjacent to the ball and play packed in defense keep your stick in the passing lanes when playing off ball to prevent skip passes
