the 1st slide will come from the crease the crease will play left and right slides while communicating through switches on the crease players the 2nd slide will come from the defender on the opposite side of the field the initial defender recovers to the crease to find and mark the open man defense must keep their sticks up off ball in the passing lanes to prevent skip passes the 2nd slide MUST CHEAT in on the crease to not allow an easy drive and dump the 3rd slide will come from the X defender leaving the open player behind the cage without any angle to score we never want to slide twice in a row from the crease so we can always have somebody there to help prevent inside passes
use the length of your stick to feel your man without having to look at him so you can cheat your slides Communication is key! Communication is key! Communication is key! if the dodger rolls back when the slide comes, the initial defender may double team the ball carrier and delay his recovery the 1st slide must slide to wear the dodger is going to be, cut off his angle so you are not chasing the 2nd slide MUST CHEAT towards the attacker of the 1st slide to not give up an easy drive and dump as defenders are recovering they must recover at 100% as defenders are sliding they must slide at 70% so that they can breakdown as they approach dodger slide with your stick in front of you and slide to BODY Move fast and communicate effectively, we want to FLY all over the field
