GAME SKILLS SETTLED OFFENSE


WHAT IS IT? When the team has the ball in the attacking end, the


attacking players must work together to create good scoring opportunities through ball movement (passes) and


off ball movement (cuts and picks). FUNDAMENTALS


MOVEMENT Players should pass and move off the ball to create open lanes to goal.


ASSIST An assist is a pass that leads directly to a goal.


BALANCE The attackers should spread out around the critical scoring


area.


PATIENCE Players should be patient when looking for scoring opportunities. Forcing poor shots can lead to fouls, turnovers and unsafe play.


DEVELOPMENTAL


Passes should be kept short to learn the basic skills required to catch and throw on the run.


Introduce concepts of cutting and setting picks away from the ball to create open spaces to goal.


PLAY SAFE


A fast break occurs when the ball is turned over and one player gets ahead of the pack, looking to take advantage of a player-up situation.


When a team settles its attack, there should always be at least one player behind the goal-line to back up errant shots, pass to open cutters, and look to roll around the crease and score.


Set plays should be introduced slowly and used wisely.


When dodging, the ball carrier must be in control of her body and stick.
