10 Min	Stacked Sliding Drill Teaching kids defensive slide sets is important but difficult to implement in a game due to the chaos. An important principle for defenders to learn is how to slide and recover. 4 offensive players in the four corners Put a goalie in cage and put 3 defenders stacked in a straight lin in the middle of from the crease Assign a number 1,2,3 to each of the defenders or call out their names The offense should move the ball, keep spacing, and shoot only off a pass across the crease or skip pass The defense will have to come out and slide to the ball and recover. The coach calls a number 1,2,3 and the designated player with that number is the player who must make the slide and recover As the ball is passed, a coach calls another different number and the assigned player slides aggressively to the ball. The first defender recovers to the inside hole, stick to the inside and in the passing lane, with head up looking for the next dangerous guy Rules of Sliding - when you initiate a slide it needs to be done with the proper technique Slide to where he's going, not to where he's been - anticipate the path of the driving attackman Breakdown on arrival - be ready to play solid defense - knees bent, back straight, balls of feet Stay in front of the Attacker - the on-ball defender is forcing the player down the side of the field, stay in front of the ball carrier Slide man stays on the ball - Once a defender initiates a slide, he must go, and once there he is now responsible for that man, the original defender recovers to the crease Original ball defender recovers to the crease to pickup open man - if the slide is effective in making the attacker peel away the original on ball defender should recover to the crease Lead with the stick, follow with the body - After leading with the stick, you’ll follow through with your body lowering the shoulder to make contact.
