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.
Goalie which are not in balance can be beaten with a change of direction

Forcing the offensive player to go where you want them to go
To the corners

Force the shooter into a wide angle shot

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

Eliminating goal keepersDo not run through them. They will take you out.
Run across their bodies.
Watch out for the dive and their one armed tackle with the stick.
Derek E. Pappas Copyright © 2009
Shoot when the goalie is out of positionBlue has “dragged” the goalie out of position and has an open shot at goal. The defender went for the ball instead of running with the forward. The defender is eliminated.
Derek E. Pappas Copyright © 2009
What should the defender have done?
The defender made a weak one arm reverse stick tackle and missed the ball. The defender should have channeled the forward into the goalie who can then “take them out”.
Derek E. Pappas Copyright © 2009
The forward is free to shootThe defender should be next to the forward to jab tackle the ball away.
