Motion Offense “It’s in the small details” Presentation to CT Coaches Convention January 10, 2010 Thanks to CT Lacrosse—the opportunity to present—and ALL they do for us. Thanks to you

Which Offense? Which Direction? (“Oh crap”) The foundation—your team? Youth program? 2-12 approach (the picture I wanted—railroads)

Transition Offense Transition Offense=fast and slow breaks; Settled Offense=half-court set

Settled offense Oh sure! U19 footage! Compare—their opposite hand! High expectations for us and them!

Motion Offense (cont.) Rules Keys Ball—ATTACK Next to ball? LEAVE Ball ALWAYS has R+L option Keys MOVE the ball! Move/Cut with a purpose Communicate These rules are for ALL OVER THE FIELD. If we have the ball, then these rules are ineffect.

The ideal settled offense ALL Settled sets come off of DCs, GBs, Forced Turnovers

Motion Offense (3x2x2) X6 X7 X5 X3 X4 Sets not plays X1 X2

“Motion Offense” (3x2x2) Set at 15 Ball-ATTACK Next to the ball? LEAVE “Take-on Artist” Next to the ball? LEAVE 2 away? R+L Option “Pop out” Others—balance the set

Motion Offense (3x2x2) X6 X7 X5 X3 X4 Sets not plays X1 X2

The “take-on artist” Prepare to catch Triple Threat Pass and MOVE C-cut and V-cut Triple Threat Pass and MOVE Draw and Dump Back out of double team Growth Mindset—develop the attack mentality (Anson Dorrance); “one and done”
