Lax Tips
Tips for Players to set you on your way to on-field success.
Communication

Sliding Defense
If a man leaves to back up on a dodge, the whole defense slides a man, leaving the man farthest from the ball open.
Crease Defensemen
Only in extreme cases, should the defense man on the crease leave to back up. Example: To stop a play that would end up in a score.
Keeping Up
Never cross your feet while playing an attack man unless you are forced to run to keep up with him.
Never Rake a Ground Ball
Always scoop a loose ball. Never draw (rake) it. If there is a crowd, go through and either kick it or scoop it up.
