Monday 10/27 @Sutherland 7pm - Sectionals Game #1
Scenarios:
MOST likely SHS will have a strong left side attack with #3 (Shannon/Tori must shut this down with help from Anita… Nicole & Addy must hold center) Also Elizabeth, Dami and Emma can sub for Shannon)
EHS will use left side attack (Nicole and Addy) and right side attack (Emma and Kenadie) Also Erika and Dami can be right wing subs
If any of our defenders need a sub, we should move Nicole back and move Emma to TOD
If Salice or Nicole come out at any point, Quinn can cover their roles on offense corners

NOTES ON GAME PLAN
DEFENSE
Slow down SHS Left side attack (#3)
Channel, poke/disrupt & trap (COMMUNICATE!)
BOD and TOD be ready to help as needed to slow down left side
We want to neutralize left side attack
Far side mid (Addy) MUST race back on an SHS breakaway to pick up a mark in our defensive circle
Wings and point come back past our defensive 25 yard line when ball is in our defensive 1/3.
Wings stay wide (out of bounds) so that they can run onto any ball.
Point and TOD stay alert to pick up any free ball in middle of field
FAST SELF STARTS!
Quickly go right a few steps and send
FAST FREE HITS!!
Any hits from 40 yard line go directly to goal cage.
Mids and forwards need to move to open passing lanes.
Far wing gets in front of GK
Any hits in our defensive 1/3 are aimed at corner of turf at far end (NOT at sideline)
GET FIRST TOUCH and PRESSURE BALL
constantly moving… never watching
OFFENSE
Strong to goal!!!
ALL free hits inside the 40yard line go to goal cage - Far side wing gets in front of of GK
Forwards and mids cut to open passing lanes
DO NOT let SHS player simply stand in front of you and stop the ball
TRY for every ball
Get first touch and then FINISH the play
Our attack will be 50% RIGHT SIDE and 50% LEFT SIDE
RIGHT SIDE: the wing carries and crosses past 15 yd line (other forwards are on diagonal toward goal cage. ALL MIDS are on edge of circle to send ball back in to goal cage
LEFT SIDE: the left mid carries and cuts in around 30 yard line for 25 yard line and blasts ball to goal cage (right wing gets in front of goalkeeper… point at top of circle… left wing available for through pass from left mid).
URGENCY & FOCUS to keep ball in play in our attack circle
ALL MIDS are on edge of circle to send ball back in to goal cage
Forwards can find mid at top of circle when they are double- or triple-teamed in attack circle
Choices for mids at edge of circle:
Send ball immediately to goal
Carry right and send ball immediately to goal when you have an opening
Carry right and send to mid that is to the right of you
Carry right and to end line so you can send checkmark pass to stroke mark
25 yd hits
NICOLE carries right and blasts ball to goal cage
DEFENSE DIAGONAL when we are on attack
The defender on side of turf where ball is being played in attacking 1/3 should be up on the diagonal
