This is a daring defensive move that can catch teams off guard.  You may also want to practice it because with under two minutes left if you need the ball this is a tactic you will need to try.

You are leaving the goal open therefore you want a fairly athletic goalie when running this.The attack men will typically beat this one of two ways.- They will full on sprint to the open space.- They will make a more to one side then jab step quickly cutting through the middle of the two defenders. If they accomplish this they will have a straight path to the goal.You will need to spend time to teach your poles how to properly execute a double team -- the main rule in doubling is to not allow the ball-carrier to run between and split the double team because of the path to the goal.
