Snolax coma slides "Headstrong"

Wow what a great website, I have found Sportplan an important tool...

DESCRIPTION

Situationally, we will have a "Coma slide" on some dodges from X that will come across the front of the cage from the opposite side of the field
the 1st slide will move with the dodger across the cage and meet him at GLE
if they can swing it to the weakside of the field (possibly on a roll back) the 2nd slide will come from the middy up top
the 3rd slide would come from the other middy up top
initial defender will recovery to the crease to find and mark up the open guy
the crease WILL NOT SLIDE so we don't give up an easy drive and dump

COACHING POINTS

off ball defenders need to have their sticks up in passing lanes to prevent skip passes
the 2 slide middies need to cheat down to the wings
DO NOT SLIDE ADJACENTLY! This is a quick easy and dump to players in lethal shooting locations
actually the adjacent defenders should play their man tightly to try and deter a pass
the COMA slide can turn into an aggressive double team if we lock off the adjacent pass
the best time to slide is when the dodger turns his back and can't see the sliding defender coming across the crease
