Coaching points
- Everyone rides, goalie included. The center pole comes up to the midline and the far-side middie drops back onside, because only six of us can be in their half (Kaley and Donovan).
- The goalie leaves the cage to cover the attackman the pole left. When the ball reaches the midline, he releases and sprints back to the cage.
- Lock the man in your zone; with two men in your zone, the next zone shades over (Snolax). Make them throw long.
- It gives up an empty-net goal now and then (Boston University's coach), and two quick diagonal passes beat it. Lacrosse For Dummies sets it up another way: goalie, a defenseman and two middies deep, two defenders and a middie in a triangle upfield.
