Coaching points
- With the extra player, six of you mark up and the seventh is a backer along the 8 and 12, mirroring the ball defender.
- Pressure the ball and force her inside to the backer. When she drives, the backer steps up: there should always be a double on the ball.
- Form a solid double and lock off the adjacent passes. When the ball swings, the backer slides with it.
- From Achieve Lacrosse and Virginia's Jessy Morgan (KuddaSports), with US Lacrosse. Morgan's backer talks the ball defender through it ("I'm your help left").
