General Information
• You can change slide package as you see fit.
• Adjacent slides can be effective providing your
two slide can get back into position. Or you need
to have a look away call but then you get a short
stick on the crease as a HB or LB this is not always
the best situation. Teach it before you do it.
• Adjacent slides up top you need to force players
to the middle of the field. (see next slide)
• This gives a clear look at cage for shooter you can
not be late on slides and you must be aggressive
on double and get in shooting lanes with body.
