Coaching points

• Three across the bottom (defender, goalie, defender), one in the middle, three across the top. The middle man roams the center for the short, easy pass.
• When a rider steps up to the middle man, he moves it on to the man that rider left. Our reading: the sources stop at his run.
• Duke's John Danowski calls the middle man the Floater. Others call him the Hunter, because he chases the ball and runs it up. Your team picks the word.
• The 21 ride sends its high attackman at exactly that pass, so against a 21 the middle man has to work to get open (LaxLibrary).
