5 Tips for Playing Defense

Lock ‘Em Down 🔒

Great defense isn’t just about the big hits—it’s about discipline, positioning, and being the loudest player on the field. Whether you’re a long-pole or a short-stick middie, these 5 fundamentals are your bread and butter for shutting down the attack.

Save this post for your next practice and master the craft:

1️⃣ Low Defensive Stance: Stay athletic. If you’re standing tall, you’re getting beat. 2️⃣ The ‘D’ Position: Body-on-body. Force them where you want them to go. 3️⃣ Control & Force: Dictate the tempo. Use the alley to your advantage. 4️⃣ Effective Stick Checks: Pokes and slaps only. Don’t hunt for the “yard sale” and lose your feet. 5️⃣ Communicate: A quiet defense is a losing defense. Talk through every slide and screen.

Level up your game. 📈
