Attack
Tips for Attackmen to set you on your way to on-field success.
Balance the Field
Always keep your field balanced in order that you stay in better position to back up, and give your teammates space to work in.
Take Quality Shots
Shoot plenty, but only if you feel you have a good shot. Shoot to get hot, shoot to stay hot.
Back Up shots
Always have one, preferably two, men behind the goal to back up shots.
Time Your Cuts
Time your cuts, don’t cut if the man with the ball is not watching or not in position to pass.
Cut Hard and Fast
Make full cuts – go through and out – don’t cut at half speed or hang around the crease after your cut.
Zigs and Zags
Zig your cuts, fake left – go right, fake right – go left. Don’t always run at the same speed, change of pace is a very effective method of getting open.
