Center of gravity
Your center of gravity is the body position which allows you to move in any direction.
If you are not in balance then you can only move in one direction. The players on the other team know this and can use this to their advantage.

Center of gravity
Center of gravity is important for offensive and defensive players.
Offensive players who are not in balance are more easily tackled.
Defensive players who are not in balance can be beaten with a change of direction

Posture
Weight on balls of feet (don’t get caught (flat footed”)
Bend ankles/knees/waist
Flat back

When/where to make different types of tackles
Derek E. Pappas Copyright © 2009
Channeling
Forcing the offensive player to go where you want them to go
To the corners
Into another defender
Away from their attackers
Derek E. Pappas Copyright © 2009
Slowing down the player for others
If you can cut a players angle to the goal off and force them to run side ways the defenders behind you can recover.
Every step that the offensive player takes side ways across the field is one step that a defender can recover toward the goal.
Delay the offensive player so your defenders can get back into position
Derek E. Pappas Copyright © 2009
Jab TackleDo not show the player your reach.
Hold the stick in the left hand with the thumb down the toe side of the stick
Right hand should be half way down.
Left hand goes down towards the ground first and then out-keep your center of gravity between your feet
Jab when the player turns their stick over the top of the ball by sliding the stick out through the right hand
Fake the jab with the body, stick and foot work. Think Bruce Lee fake.

Derek E. Pappas Copyright © 2009
Shoulder to shoulder tacklingDon’t push them in their back with your hand.
Derek E. Pappas Copyright © 2009
Tackling from behind-right sideIf a player on your right is protecting the ball with their front sticks then go under their stick to get the ball.
Derek E. Pappas Copyright © 2009
Slide stick under
Derek E. Pappas Copyright © 2009
Chasing the ballKeep your eye on the ball
Run hard...the other person is also
hands in front
Derek E. Pappas Copyright © 2009
Stopping forward passesThe blue player makes a forward pass and the red player can’t stop it because they went across the path of the ball instead of following the path of the ball with the reverse stick. The defender’s eyes must follow the path of the ball and the stick will as well

Tackle in groups
Derek E. Pappas Copyright © 2009
Triangle DefenseOne man deep
Two to the side
The men on the side step in to close the gap
Derek E. Pappas Copyright © 2009
Triangle DefenseTwo men on the sides have moved together to reduce the space for the offensive player.
Derek E. Pappas Copyright © 2009
If you diveYou better make the tackle
There is no recovery
Derek E. Pappas Copyright © 2009
Dive tacklingIf you dive tackle you must get the ball
else you are completely eliminated
Here red dove along the path of the ball instead of perpendicular to the path and missed the ball.
Derek E. Pappas Copyright © 2009
Tackling mistakesBehind player with ball
Stick too vertical
Swinging down to tackle
Hitting player’s stick (not the ball)
Derek E. Pappas Copyright © 2009
Tackling mistakesWrong grip
Stick in air
Stick angled up
Derek E. Pappas Copyright © 2009
Don’t jump
Derek E. Pappas Copyright © 2009
The danger zoneThe hit follow through will hurt you. Do not stand in the danger zone. Either shoulder to shoulder or get out of the way.
Derek E. Pappas Copyright © 2009
The danger zoneClosing your eyes will not protect you.
Do not get caught in the follow through of a hit.
Shoulder to shoulder or front sticks tackle.
Poke the ball away on back swing not the follow through.
Stop shot on with front stick not reverse.
Derek E. Pappas Copyright © 2009
Getting bodies into position
The goalie/sweeper must organize the defense
The defense needs to communicate to channel players into the corners/sidelines or the middle
One player runs with the offensive ball carrier while another player makes the tackle
Trapping the ball carrier with “gang” tackling
Chasing the defensive passing with two players-one is not enough
Derek E. Pappas Copyright © 2009
Flow
Moving the other team around on the field
Forcing the other team left/right
Forcing the other team into the middle (funnel)
Derek E. Pappas Copyright © 2009
Marking
Position
Visibility
Footwork
Staying with the offensive player
Derek E. Pappas Copyright © 2009
Marking-position
Ball side/goal side
One yard from the player
Derek E. Pappas Copyright © 2009
Marking-footwork
Do not get caught crossing over your step
Slide step
Tennis volley position
feet in neutral position
Derek E. Pappas Copyright © 2009
Staying with the player
Man to man
Do not get screened
Do not let the offense run a “pick and roll”
Zone
Switch players if necessary
Watch for stick/hand signals
Derek E. Pappas Copyright © 2009
Using the flow against the defense
Derek E. Pappas Copyright © 2009
Recognizing when the offense is creating a flow
Derek E. Pappas Copyright © 2009
Defending in triangles against a running build up
Close down the gaps
Give them the flat pass/run not the through pass/run
Derek E. Pappas Copyright © 2009
Closing down from behindThe blue player is preparing to jab tackle or slide stick under the red player’s stick to get the ball.
Derek E. Pappas Copyright © 2009
Closing players down
The red player has shown the blue player his “reach”. Reach is the distance from your feet to the end of the stick. Don’t show the offensive players your “reach” when you close them down. Two hands on the stick when closing down
Derek E. Pappas Copyright © 2009
Closing DownThe defender’s stride pattern has to match the offensive player’s stride pattern. Here red is in trouble-red is taking bigger steps than blue.
The defender should not “throw” the stick when there is no chance of making a tackle as in this picture.
Derek E. Pappas Copyright © 2009
Closing down playersFootwork short steps
Control change of direction
Maintain your center of gravity
Jab and feint to move offensive player
Derek E. Pappas Copyright © 2009
Closing players down
Two hands on stick.
Wait for opportunity to tackle.
Cut the forwards angle to goal off.
Slow them down.
Make them look at ball so they do not have passing options.
Derek E. Pappas Copyright © 2009
Channeling attackers
Channel (direct) the attacker into another defender who either makes the tackle or causes the ball runner to change direction, hence slowing them down and allowing defensive players from behind to catch up
