Coaching points
- Ride hard until the ball crosses the midline. Then concede the clear: turn and drop back into your 6v6 defense (Zimmerman and England).
- The deep 3-3 already has the middies behind the midline, so they get home first (LaxLibrary).
- Riders whose man is gone sprint back. Pick up a man and get even; the goalie calls 'All even' when every man is matched (Lax Goalie Rat).
- The ride's job is to buy time for the defense to set up (USA Lacrosse). Kaley and Donovan teach it as recovery from offense to defense.
