6. Ground Balls Strategy – ‘Uncontested Ground Ball’ – Pick the ball up the first time, accelerate through the ball, big turn – “Support the ball” - Move the ball off the ground Ground Ball Drills – 3-deep – Bust Adjacent – 2v1 GBs

7. Stickwork ‘The Great Equalizer’ Strategy – Set ourselves up for success – manageable passes – Feet moving, shoulder pointed at target Drills – ‘3x10’ – Fewer players, Less standing - More balls, Maximum touches Spoke drill | 8-12 players | Alternative to Line Drills Triangle Passing |6-9 players | Alternative to Line Drills 4-man, 2-ball | 4 players | Alternative to Partner Passing

8. Movements Cutting through Following Spacing Supporting the ball

9. Offensive Theory Breakdown the defense – Force defense to help/slide Anticipation creating downhill initiating dodges – Create 2-on-1s and adjacent slides – Attack/dodge approaches Take what is given Take High Percentage Shots – Middle of the field – Feet set, off of the catch

10. Offensive Sets “Zero” – Open set “2” – 2-3-1 (from top) “3” – 3-1-2 “1” – 1-4-1 Considerations Personnel Opposing Defense Style

11. Quick Hitters Consider – Personnel - strengths/weaknesses – Desired style of play Attack – OOB Midfield Combo

12. Extra Man Offense Bama Series – 2-3-1 to 3-3 – Variety of initiation points – Forces defense to move, handle formation change – Fairly simple and consistent offensive movements
