Defeating the screen?
I notice the screen is hard for a weaker teams backs to get the ball through. What are some methods of defeating the screen for juniors? The Olympics dont seem to use screens, they seem to instead retreat first to fill holes in the middle? while the team with the ball does back and around in front of their goal for a while before sending it down the wing.
Would the umpire notice if you put one of your players amongst their screen to provide a path past that player to another player deeper? Your player in the screen blocking the path of the defender from getting a stick to the passing ball.
Is it just that senior players are able to do effective lateral cross turf hits, so the screen is unrealistically player intensive, leaving holes in the middle risky?
Whereas entirely logical to use a screen against a weak team?
