Attack

Tips for Attackmen to set you on your way to on-field success.

Outside Shooting

On all long shots, a man must be on the crease.

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.

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!
