Players
Do not fear failure. If you are constantly worried about messing up you will always grip your stick too tight and never be able to play to your potential. And with that, Give 100%, 100% of the time. If you are going hard and you are passionate about what you are doing, it doesn’t matter if you make a mistake, you just learn from it. Everyone makes mistakes, it’s about having a short memory, becoming better from the mistake, and worrying about executing the next play.
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!
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.
Time Your Cuts
Time your cuts, don’t cut if the man with the ball is not watching or not in position to pass.
