1. Match-ups – identify who are the feeders, shooters and “mailmen”; appropriately cover them
2. Identify the “QB” – devise a plan to cover him with or without the ball 3. Communication – when mismatches occur ( and they will) make sure the entire defense is ready to communicate. This includes the defensive “huddle” after a score; be sure to efficiently articulate – who was on ball, who had the adjacent men and who was responsible for the crease – 4. Have a back-up plan. Plan A does not always work – Have B ready to implement – maybe go man to man, shutoff or a zone. The key is to have a plan B. 5. Know the opponent’s key weakness – they all have them – see if you can exploit that weakness. 1. Unforced turnovers
2. Failure to will GB’s into a possession 3. Poor shooting ( underhand and shot selection) 4. Failure to Ride with intent to obtain an opponent turnover 5. Face-offs – being dominated and not adjusting 6. Sliding up-field on a fast break 7. The most important practice is the one right after a loss – use the time well These can be corrected ! |
