- 50-100% (gradually increase)
- Approach Man:
- Toss the ball to the dodger
- Stick out, sitting down, head up, ball of your feet
- Take away one side of the triangle (arm to shoulder), force the dodger one way, prevent any rollbacks
- Hands on them, lock your arms at 90 degrees, punch, drive and steer
- 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
- Slide to where they are going, not to where they are at
- Contain first, then go for the ball
- Communicate to the look away guy
