    • Recover to the crease once slider tells you to "Look away"
  • Slide Man:
    • Stick position: top hand above your ears, toward the inside, stick is behind you, then move it forward

10 Min Clears
  • Standard Clear
  • Banana clear - banana cut defenders, middies space out, extra defender sub side, run attack over midline
10 Min Rides
  • Goalie Free
  • Goalie Chase - 3 middies lock on, 1 attack pressures goalie, 2 attack go wide for breaking defenders (If your man passes to the goalie you chase)
    • If goalie passes to the side defender, double the ball (goalie attack moves to double), the weak side attack gets on the goalie
    • Goal to force the long pass to the other defender
10 Min Offense Time Kill

Use a stopwatch and have the offense in a 6 v 6 situation kill time. Players should pop-out for passes, run around behind x, and keep it in the box. Defense can work on shutting off adjacents, doubling, and trying to take the ball away.
