The Rules: On the Ball •Commit to initial dodge • Force one way, give slide the best opportunity • Force one way to send into a bad spot •Direct the dodger into your “Trap” •Do not chase stick • If beat, stay on his back • If you are even or ahead, turn him back (schematic) •Understand your Trap • Bad spot on the field • Bad angle shot • Double 7
TRUST DISCIPLINE TEAMWORK MENTAL TOUGHNESS PHYSICAL TOUGHNESS
The Rules: Off the Ball •Know the game plan- understand the what and who •Identify yourself, ”Communicate” • “Trap”- he could be beat but you see a trap possibility- no “peel” call •Ball You Man •Proper approach on slide • Where he is going • Under control • Through stick head and body “Trap”

Drills to help build a “Trap” 1 v 1 (with slider) • Sets the tone • Trapper (aka, the slider) communicates whether to stay on or not “peel” • Move how the on ball guy is playing (lead/trail/even) • The trap via slide
2v2 • Switch ALL picks at first • Get thru all picks and follow (THE FOLLOW TRAP) • The trap via picks • The trap via follow
4v4 • A few different options • Slide off initial pass • Have O set picks • Creates the slide/switch • Use rules discussed earlier • Teaches decision making
2v3 • Works on setting up a trap off a recovery • Must identify and communicate properly • Proper on ball • Proper slide angles • Starts off a quick slide • The trap bad angle • The trap via slide (follow)
6v6 • Lets see what we have to work with • Set plan before practice-OBJECTIVES • We will slide • We will force here • We want this___
