Cut Fill Look Backside
In this man-up lacrosse play, the offense sets up with two players up top, three across the middle, and one at X behind the goal. As the ball moves from the wing to X, a top-corner player cuts to the goal, while the crease player fills the vacated space. This forces defensive rotations and creates an open opportunity for the opposite wing player to capitalize with a clean shot. It's a simple yet effective way to exploit the man-up advantage.
Initial Setup:
Position 2 players up top, 3 players across the middle, and 1 player behind the goal at X.
Execution:
When the ball is passed from the wing to X, the player positioned at the top corner cuts toward the goal.
Simultaneously, the crease player shifts to fill the spot vacated by the cutter.
Result:
This movement draws the defense, creating an opportunity to find the player on the opposite wing for an open shot.
This coordinated motion ensures the defense is forced to rotate, increasing the chance of capitalizing on the man-up advantage.
