Coaching points
- The zone moves as one, as if tied together with a string. Ball comes up one side: the nearest zones close that area and the far side cheats in.
- Attack three across in front of the midline, middies three across behind it, each line split into thirds (USA Lacrosse; LaxLibrary).
- Nobody slides upfield out of his zone: that gives up the easy lob over his head. No pressure on the goalie or defenders below GLE (Belgium).
- Talk when a clearer comes into or leaves your zone, especially from behind. Kaley and Donovan build their 52 clear to beat this ride.
