WHAT CAN MY DAUGHTER DO?
Beating a defender is not about collecting moves. It is about reading her body, creating imbalance and attacking the open space before she can recover.
A confident dodger can:
-
Recognize when and where to attack
-
Read the defender’s feet, hips and leverage
-
Change speed and direction with purpose
-
Create separation without wasting movement
-
Protect her stick through pressure and contact
-
Accelerate out of the dodge
-
Keep her head up and recognize the next play
-
Turn separation into a shot, feed or continued attack

THE DODGER'S CREED
A dangerous dodger does not move without purpose.

She Initiates With Space.
She changes speed.
She protects possession.
She creates Leverage.
