Coaching points
- Beaten? Trail his back elbow. If the slide holds him, double; if not, get to the hole, top side of the crease first.
- The goalie and your teammates tell you where the free man is. Find one.
- Bump: take the man nearest you and bump the teammate on him to the next man, so the slide comes back out the short way.
- Once the ball is reset, number up and talk it out.
