2021 CLL Boys Lacrosse Clearing Game
Clearing Game Introduction Video: https://youtu.be/RnYRtSWkBug The video provides a good overview of a 2-3-2 clear. We will run a Diamond clear (slides to follow) that is similar in base formation, but reduces the number of players we sub off (from 2 to 1) before we actually clear the ball over the midline. We also include slides for the 2-3-2 that show some of the differences we use. Goals of Clearing Game: 1) Transition the ball from our defensive zone to our attack zone with possession 20 seconds to clear the midline, then another 10 seconds to get the ball in the attack box 2) Take advantage of a fast break opportunity when available 3) Get subs onto the field efficiently Get the right players off an on the field before we start running our offense
Clear Levels of the Field Level 3 Level 1 Level 2 G G Level 3 Level 2 Level 1 10s to get it in the box after possession after clear 10s to get it in the box after possession after clear 20 Seconds to Clear the Centerline, with or without possession
Clear Base Locations 2; A C 1 G B 3 Middies Close Defense (Poles) 1 Short Stick Def Mid (SSDM) 2 SSDM 3 Long Stick Mid/SSDM A, B, C closest pole calls out the location they re going to
Base Locations 1. D Poles go to the A/B/C locations The A & B poles will work with the goalie to establish possession of the ball and begin walking the ball up as the rest of the clearing team gets into position. The C pole needs to get above restraining line to help open up the first level of the clear. 2. Middies take spots 1-3, and LSM (if on field) has priority on location #3. The middies in positions 2 & 3 have on-sides responsibilities during the clear. We can send two more players over the midline in this clear the ball carrier and ONE of these two (Middie 1 has already cleared). Middie 2 should expect to be the Middie Back as he has priority for subbing off. The LSM in position 3 or the on-coming middie should look to break over the midline if the ball is pressed to the other side of the field and find open space his rider may be an attackman and might not follow. The middies in positions 1 and 2 need to look for opportunities to get off the field after establishing the touch for fresh legs. 3. Attack players need to get down to GLE (and X player should stay in front of cage until we have the touch) during the walk up phase to drag their poles away from the clearing game. That is their job. They are NOT helping by being at the midline.
