Do you know what an Offensive Set is?
From another Forum:
You could try Carthage's 1-1-3-1... (number from X) Sure, they had all the Powell bros. and lots of talent, but the concept is a good one.
I spent some time with coach Ventiquattro (in person and lots of email). Easy offense to implement with a few simple rules. It allows an offense to primarily use their two most dominant players in immediate scoring position while forcing a defense into uncomfortable situations.
#1 - player at X
#2 - low crease
#3, #4, #5 18 yards above GLE
#6 - 5 yards outside the box
The offense is based on the best two players in a mirror on the crease, 3 players standing about 5 - 7 yards apart at 2 yards below the restraining line, and 1 player positioned 5 yards outside the box.
The ball is moved to #1 while #2 stays approx. 180 degrees opposite the carrier.
First thought is 1v1 - if slide comes from crease the look is for an easy dump to #2. (This is just basic 2-man game that can also include picks and exchanges.)
While the 2-man game is taking place, 3, 4, and 5 are cutting.
Their rules are:
- Keep their spacing (width)
- Someone must always be cutting
- No more than two cutters at one time
- Always back-out facing the goal (ready to find space if your man leaves to help with #1 and #2)
- Finish cuts at 10 yards - don't carry defender into the 2-man game.
#6 balances the field, is back for breaks and can find space if/when his man helps with other players.
At some point opposing teams will most likely go zone or try to drop a "backer" down to help with the 2-man game while 3 play 4 up top.
#3 - #6 must recognize this and find space on the wings, so that a new point of attack can be set (swing the ball)
