Transition tactics for winning the ground-ball war and moving it end to end. Rides that pin the other team in their own half, clears that break pressure clean, and the ground-ball habits that decide most close games. This is the film-room breakdown we wish somebody had handed us — spacing, angles, and the reads that turn a scrum into a fast break.

Why we wrote it

Games are won in the middle third

Everybody drills the shot. Almost nobody drills the ten seconds after a save — the scrum for the ground ball, the ride that traps it, the clear that beats it. Those ten seconds decide more close games than any highlight. We wrote Ride & Clear because transition is the most coachable edge in the sport and the most ignored.

It's built from the film we actually break down: spacing diagrams, the reads by position, and the small-sided drills to rep it at practice. Read it once, run the scripts, and watch your team stop giving the ball back. That's the whole pitch.

"Ran the ride diagrams at practice for two weeks and our clears got noticeably cleaner. The scripts drop straight into a session — no guesswork on my end."

Coach Whitman · High school

"The ground-ball chapter changed how I box out — little stuff I was never taught. Would’ve liked more on the man-down ride, but well worth it at the price."

Tevin O. · LSM

"Coaching a first-year middle-school squad and this gave me a whole clearing structure I could actually teach 11-year-olds. We went from panic clears to organized in a month."

How does it get to me?

Instant digital delivery — the PDF hits your inbox the second checkout clears. Read it on the bus, on the sideline, or print the diagrams and tape them in the film room. No shipping, no waiting.

Is this only for defenders?

Nope. The ride is a full-field job — attackmen learn to hound the clear, middies learn to bust it, and D-poles learn to clean it up. Everybody on the field touches transition, so everybody gets something here.

Do I need The Cradle Code first?

Not required, but they pair up nicely — Cradle Code builds the stick skills, Ride & Clear puts them to work when the ball's live in transition. Grab the bundle above if you want both.

Will this hold up for a coach's playbook?

Plenty of coaches run our transition diagrams straight into practice plans. It's licensed for one reader, but if you want it across a staff, ping us on Contact and we'll set up a team rate.
