Dodge, Pass, Pick, Send it Behind and Cut

Initiate with a Top Dodge: Start the play by executing a dodge from up top. This move aims to pull the defensive, creating space and drawing attention away from other potential threats.

• Quick Ball Movement to X: Immediately after the dodge, get the ball moving to behind the goal. This quick transition requires the defense to shift their focus and reposition, which can cause momentary confusion and misalignment.

• Backside Cut Coordination: As the ball reaches X, initiate a backside cut from up top from where things were initiated. This timing is crucial as it exploits the defensive gaps created by their shift in focus to the ball behind the goal.

• Seal Pick on the Crease: This action is designed to obstruct the defensive players’ path, further opening up space for the cutter moving towards the goal. The shift of the ball to the other side and being the first slide combined with the seal can be a lot to handle for a crease defensemen.

• Execution and Scoring Opportunity: With the defense pulled out of position by the dodge and the quick pass, and further disrupted by the crease pick, the cutter should find an open lane to receive a pass and make a scoring attempt. The key to this strategy is the synchronicity of movements and the precise timing of passes and cuts to maximize the disruption to the defensive setup.

• Adapt and Adjust: Encourage players to read the defense's response to these movements. If the defense adjusts quickly, players should be prepared to adapt the strategy on the fly, possibly reversing the ball or opting for a secondary play based on the defense's positioning.

This strategy requires practice and good communication among players to ensure each component is executed at the right moment, maximizing the chances of creating and capitalizing on scoring opportunities.
