Coaching points
- V-cut to get open: drive your defender toward the goal, then come back to the ball. Ask for it with the hand away from her.
- If she overplays and jumps the passing lane, go backdoor behind her. If you see the pony tail, go: her head is turned to the ball.
- Cut in tandem, never crisscrossed through the 8, and never cut behind the ball carrier.
- Other cuts in the same family: down and through, replacement (switch with the girl next to you), cut back and pop out. From Achieve Lacrosse and US Lacrosse's Level 2 workbook.
