Coaching points
- Call "Reverse" and throw it across or back to switch the field. Don't forget you can use the goalie.
- Denver's Horseshoe: the goalie clears to a marked defender, who breaks the double or redirects it to the goalie; the goalie hits the other defender, who passes to the 50.
- Davidson's carrier pushed up the sideline into two riders has three answers: run it, split the double toward the middle, or reverse it to the trail.
- Once she leaves her circle the goalie is a field player. In the circle she has 10 seconds to clear it.
