Aggressive ride designed to force turnovers in the middles of the field and create quick possessions at the end of the game.

TERMINOLOGY-
DOG: Close defender stepping over the midline

HAWK: LSM coming out of the sub box watching over the middle of the field

TURN: Force the clearing team to roll back to the middle of the field (where the hawk and dog are)

JUMP: Send a second defender on ball to double

BACK: The ball has flipped sides of the field and we need you onside

NAVY: Attackman coming off the field to substitute an SSDM through the midline

RULES FOR THE RAIL RIDE
Attackman cannot get beat 1v1 without turning their guy backFar attackman move towards midline to cover the up and over passDog who comes over the midline is the quarterback of the rideMiddies must lock players and keep their guy in front of themFar side middie must get back onsides to "release" the dogTwo back defensemen play zone on their three attackman, covering the two closest to the ballIf the play gets past attack you must chase ball from outside in to force a turnIf the ball gets cleared on one side other side must drop into the house to prevent odd man scenariosIf a shorty starts with the ball, we double and leave the goalie openKeep in mind:
Our goal is to their D to make the overpass (toughest pass to make)We want to turn their D back to the center of the field where the hawk and dog areAllow the Dog to jump and double the ballSwarm (double/triple) the ball at the midline

This is a play to get our offense moving once we’ve gotten settled.

Call out Spin 2. Everyone echos back the play.

The ball is passed around the outside of the box.

Every 2nd pass the first person to pass makes a cut across the middle.

When the player cuts, the next player (opposite the direction of the passing) moves into his spot and the next player into the next open spot until there is an open spot for the cutter to go into.


The player with the ball can continue the passing around or feed the cutter.

The format continues every 2 passes.

Note: Passing can be in either direction.
