This is basically a quick guide on how to play defense. If anyone has anything to add please do. First off, there are a few ways to stop somebody. You can force them to pass, put pressure on them to shoot in a hard place, or just knock the ball out of their stick.
Here are a few check.
Poke check: just poke at their gloves and stick and if you feel their about to switch hands put your stick at their stomach. When doing poke dodges, keep your stick low.
Body Checking: checking is hitting the player with your body or gloves. I find this effective when somebodies running in to the goal with about 3 players checking him. A simple check will stop him and your teammates will check him and get the ball. You can check with your gloves touching or with your body.
Back check: this check is done from behind the person. When this happens tap at them to mess them up a little and when they pass or shoot, hit their stick hard and the ball will fall out or the pass or shot will be messed up.
Normal check. This check is done by check up to down. This is good for middies. There are two times that are very good to do this. When people switch hands, check behind the back sideways and you will probouly get it. Also if you get close to someone side to side wait until their cradle is forward all then check down.
Hope this '' Brief " guide works and please comment.
