Snolax 10 man ride "HAWK"

Great drills and practices thank you. Have used to great success for...

Steve, Clayesmore Prep School

DESCRIPTION

pressure starts 5 seconds after settled clear allowing everyone to sprint to their spots
best D pole (hawk) will come up to midline and switch with middy ready to be an ultra aggressive ball hawk
Our goalie marks up on the closest attackmen while not jeaprodizing a completely wide open net
attack rides hard pressuring ball side
if the ball enters between the 35-50 in defending half, we collapse on the ball from the outsides
if a man is in your zone you must lock him off
if there are two men in your zone, then the next closest zone can shade closer to support

COACHING POINTS

Communication is key
Communication is key
Communication is key
Do not get caught ball watching or it could turn into a transition goal
play fast and athletic, we must be strong athletes to make up the space inbetween zones
Fast break middy must be slow to slide
use your stick in passing lanes to deter passes
play body defense to try to pinch a ball carrier between two zones. throwing checks risks giving up position to stay in front of the ball carrier.
working as a team you will find the best results. talk it through with your teammates
