Attack
Tips for Attackmen to set you on your way to on-field success.
Crease Play
On every screen shot the crease man should check-up on the defense man’s stick, and immediately face the goalie, so that he is ready to bat in a rebound.
Give and Go
After receiving a pass, as the ball moves around the outside, look first at the man who threw you the ball to see what he is doing, then at the crease.
After the Pass
If you receive a pass after cutting and haven’t got a good shot, hold onto the ball.
Pick a Corner
Place all shots, usually for a far corner, and shoot hard. When within five yards of the goal, the shot should be for a top corner.
Get it Off the Ground
After picking up a loose ball, turn and face the crease immediately. If nobody is open, move in fast until you are picked up.
Move the Ball
Don’t dodge if there is an open man. Don’t hold the ball long unless you are planning a dodge. Keep it moving with quick, short passes.
Back Each Other Up
Always be in position to back up shots and feeds. When a cut is made, or a shot is taken, the whole attack must play a part, moving to be in a position to backup a pass or a shot. Control the ball!
Don’t Force it
Never try to force in, with the ball or by a pass, if the defense is drawn in. Pull them out first.
Keep Proper Spacing
Never stand so close together that one defense can cover two offense.
Loose Ball on the Ground
When there is a loose ball on the ground, go after it fast and hard, you must have the ball!
