3. Principals
Little eye ball big eye ball: this means your defense should always have eyes on his man and not the ball in order not to get back cut
7 work as 1: all 7 of the boys out there (6 d/mids an a goalie)
Buy time! In an unsettle situation the more time you can by before the shot is take and the more time you can by in general on defense you will be able to match back up and recover.

4. Communication
Communication is very important. You need to make sure that a lot is communicated on the field. THINGS that have to be communicated are: location of ball, what type of slides you are in, who is hot and who is the “2”.

5. Language
Location of ball- This is done by the goalie who should always be telling the defense where the ball is i.e. top center, top left, top right, side right, side left, back left, back right.
Who is “HOT” being hot means you has slide responsibility and will be the person to go to the ball carrier.
“Fire”-is the call for the hot man to slide
“2” or “fill” is the person who recovers from the person who just slid.

6. Slides
Adjacent slides are a basic way to slide and very effective here is a short clip to walk through it,

7. Crease slide
A crease slide is useable as well another way to just to give more looks then one.
