M3 When heads up overplay to force opponent to weak hand MD3 overplaying opponents right hand to force him left M1 M2 Force ball outside up top By overplaying inside MD 1 & MD2 in proper position to force player out and away from the (center) inside and usually down the alley to dump D 1 & D3 in proper position to force player down and away from the alley and usually to X for dump They can not get beat topside D1 A1 v A3 D2 A2 D2 in proper position to force player to his weakhand (left) he has help from the crease if beaten D2 has to anticipate the ball moving to X behind ahead of time so that he does not get caught in front of the goal HOW TO COVER THE BALL FROM EACH POSITION IN THE OFFENSIVE ZONE We will slide early from the crease and the man guarding the ball will always have help from the crease inside..when the defender covering the ball gets help from the slide man he will recover to the crease or switch and rotate into the crease and find the unguarded player who should be backside or right on the crease guys have to talk it out to make it work the goalie runs the show Anytime the ball enters the gray area above the slide will come automatically and early from the inside crease defender (middie or longpole). Backside defenders will have to assist by covering the crease until the recover man retreats to help the crease. 16

Rides 24
Basic ride Press 1 Middies matched up with midfielders man to man attack zoned up with one attacker on ball other two floating attackmen on highest defensemen/goalie and closest G/D to the ball leave furthest from the ball open (almost always cross field low) this is our base ride unless instructed otherwise Pressure ride Press 2 It works against teams that cant throw and catch and are weak ball handlers Used when called by coaches 1-Midfielders shut off their men from receiving a pass at the midline play slightly to the hole don t let him get behind you. Only responsibility is to prevent pass to open man or prevent fast break from clearing pass. 2-Attack double the ball if all 4 defenders (goalie included) stay back. Floating attackman covers highest longpole if one of the 4 move upfield Attack is responsible for pressuring the clearing team. Middies should concede when the ride is broken and run to the hole ahead of their man. They should only jump low when it is obvious the clearing team is in trouble..ball on the ground Other rides (not diagrammed) Drop back ride Zone with attack ride 3 attack vs. 4 between midline and restraining box Middies in MAN to Man at midline 10 man ride involves the Goalie and covers everyman on field leaves goal open and vulnerable 25
