Once the ball is at the Low attack position, the opposite side Low Defender coma slides and they start the double team. Similar to the backer zone, once we double we have 2 defenders playing 3 offensive players on the backside. The goalie will step up to top of goal circle ready to pick off any long cross crease passes, almost playing as a 8th defender. It's vital all front side defenders lock off their checks and deny any chance to receive a pass from ball carrier scrambling to get away from the double team. That means you go as far out as you need to, to ensure your check can't receive a pass, that may be as far as the sideline ! Once the double team is set and ready, step out and force ball carrier to corner or sideline. Ensure ball carrier doesn't get around the goal as we are a man down on the backside. Pursue double team anywhere, until ball carrier drops ball, forces bad pass, or losses it because of strong double team. DO NOT foul by committing a lazy stick check or pushing out with arms.
