Best clear?

[RelicDavis]

What is the best clear for a smaller and slower team. Our team is having trouble clearing the ball effectively.

[laxhero123]

what do you mean best clear, best man to throw to or best clearing routes for the defense?

[laxgoaliebm16]

small and slow is not a good combo haha

[RelicDavis]

Right now we are working on:
3-1 Clear
3-2 Clear

Clears for saves, and out of bounce near goal.

use your strengths, obviously it isn't speed so use passes

2 years ago, my team started using a 3-1-3 clear: 2 Def + goalie down low, 1 "float" middie around restraining line, 2 mids + 1 def at midfield. The key is still for everyone to move as a unit up the field. This makes the open guy much easier to find.

Personally, I hate it, but it's because I'm a run-and-gun goalie & the float middie keeps getting in the way (with an extra defender), but it works great for our other goalie who barely leaves the crease during the game. Although I don't like it much, it has been effective.

draw and dump, if the goalie is used effectively you essentially have a man up clear
