Coaching points
- One defender is responsible only for locking off their best player. She stays between her and the ball, looks only at her, and isn't a help or a slide.
- The face guarder talks about one thing: where her player is.
- The other six play 6 v 6, hedge toward the star and slide quickly the moment she gets the ball.
- Expect legal picks for her, cuts to the crease and a draw-and-dump to pull a double. Others will step up to beat it.
