Coaching points
- Pass it to the sideline first, to draw the ride away from the middle. Stay out of the middle and make your passes down the sides.
- Low defenders banana out along GLE and angle back to see the pressure; highs break up and out to the wings of the 12; middies break toward the sidelines and the 50.
- Keep a low defender close to goal as a safety. See and show: don't turn your back and run. Re-cut if the first cut is covered.
- The goalie has 10 seconds to clear her circle. Attackers in zones 3 and 4 set up in a box or a diamond and cut, never flat on the restraining line.
