When you face-off, you should always have your stick in your right hand. When you go to approach the ball, you want to make sure the back of your stick is facing the ball. Your feet should be lined up behind the line. Along with our feet, our entire body that should be behind the neutral zone. It's an imaginary plane that goes straight up from the plastic part of your plane where the medal meets the plastic.
When you line up, your stick should be lined up straight along the line. Not leaning over, lean in, or lean back, just line it up straight. The ball should be in the middle of our sticks, not on the throat of or up high. Your hands must be on the ground, not hovering over. Your goal should be to clamp, sweep, or jump to beat the other man and get possession of the ball.
While facing off, you should always be thinking which move beats which? Jump beats clamp, clamp beats sweep, and sweep beats jump. Facing off is just like rock, paper scissors. You have three different moves and one can be beat by one, but also can beat the other. So when you are facing off in a game, be thinking that.
Another key thing to do while your facing off is to stay low and to punch your left hand forward giving you an advantage. If you are higher then the other guy, he can easily get lower and box you out.
