Get Started
- To begin, the Defender #1 sprints to cover the ball, then sits in an athletic stance.
- Defender #2 slides between the attack in the middle and the ball, with his butt pointed to the ball side, sideline.
- Simultaneous with those actions, the Defender #2 will be yelling “I’m Go or Going.”
- As the ball moves between the cones, the players shuffle with it. Defender #2’s butt should be changing direction while keeping his eyes up and a stick on the attack.
- Once a pass is made across the defense, Defender #1 quickly recovers to the middle while yelling “Bump!”
- Defender #2 will now slide out to cover the ball and Defender #1 becomes the “Go Man.”
- The process is repeated until each player has covered the ball and the attackman in the middle with proper technique and speed.
