I was at a successful D3 College mid 80’s coaching Defense and did the Subs. We did a lot of subs and the box was a busy place. At about the 2nd game head coach came to me and asked how was I controlling all the subbing. I told him that I did not control it except if someone was hurt and the sub order needed changes. But I taught players to control it. The defense mids knew how/what order and when to come out. And the offense mids knew what order to go in to the game. The players were smart enough to get into school, they don’t need some coach to wipe their noses.
What this did for us was it keep players’ heads into the game even those on the sineline. They always knew when it was their turn to be on the field. There was also pear pressure for a player to get off the field when they were supose to.
Agreed, teaching it to the players and allowing them to run themselves is ideal.
Great job on this video. Detailed and clear. Sweet channel logo too 👍
thank you for making this video. I am new to lacrosse and this helped me understand substitutions so much better.
Glad it was helpful!
Hey Patrick, Thank you for another incredible video. The high school team I’m coaching is using the subs from offense to defense where we get 3 players off as quickly as possible. What we have landed on, and to be honest have only run it in practice so far with great success, is this. From a 231 set, we drop the 2 middies up top and the attack furthest from the box to midfield to slow the clear and sub the attack closest to the box, the attack at X and the middie at Crease. I’ve timed it in practice and getting those players off the field and our defense into position takes 12-13 seconds consistently. It also slows down the clear and our team runs the fastest clear I’ve come across in our league. I’ll let you know how it pans out in games when the boys start making mistakes. Haha. That’s why we practice it a ton. Anyway, thanks again for all your videos.
One thing to add, once the clear has passed, we sub the middies for the attack who came off.
That’s awesome! It’ll definitely stress your communication, but taking the attackman off is a great addition, I think it’ll work well for you and prep you for marrying their offensive personnel if an O mid gets stuck on D! Keep me posted, I’m excited to hear how it goes.
Thank you
You're welcome!
We normally run two way mid. Would like to start to use OM and DM. What’s the best way to do it, sub wise?
Try to get them off the field when you go to defense, but if they get caught, they have to play D. Then just make sure you’re subbing in your new mids and an O mod that knows to get off the field for the pole.
Any suggestions for Attack who don't ride with much intensity, which makes any subbing really hard to do?
It has to be incentivized in practice and upheld during games. When we had mistakes during 6v6 and just gave the ball back to the offense, our ride struggled . Some players don't have the heart to ride hard. Those players might be better offensively, but if they can't play the defensive part of the game, perhaps they won't play in the games...
If an attackman doesn’t ride, his spot is on the bench… how do you let the opposition take the ball to the other side of the midfield line without a fight? Those are lazy attackmen who don’t respect their teammates or coaches. I’d argue that riding is the most important aspect of an attackmans job. If the other team never gets the ball to their offensive end it makes it really hard for them to score.
Man down shots are, by percentage, lower risk than even or man up shots. The risk is minimal subbing on defense and arguably it’s better to sub a liability on defense for someone who can handle defense
Are you saying that you would sub off a liability even if it give up easy numbers defensively.
@@POWLAX I would say the 10s of man down it takes to sub is less risky than leaving in a kid who struggles on defense to play 6v6. At the same time, I don’t fear defensive subs because, at least the level I coach, man up goals are less common than 6v6 goals. Maybe I’m just missing something?
