Riding: Goalie Ride
The goalie ride is a simple riding strategy that puts pressure on the goalie when they have the ball. The goal is to lock off every passing option, force the goalie to carry the ball, and make a bad pass or decision.

Double Seal
On man-up or against a zone, identify the defender responsible for closing out and getting a stick on the shooter’s hands, then seal his direct path before the pass arrives. By forcing that defender to go around the seal, the shooter gains the extra second needed to catch and shoot with his hands free.

The 2-Behind, 4-Flat up top
This formation uses a two-man game behind the goal while four players stay spread across the top, forcing the defense to choose between helping inside or staying matched up outside. If they help, it creates quick ball movement and open shots up top; if they don’t, the offense has space to attack and score from behind.
Alley Dodge Pick
The pick-behind combined with an alley dodge puts the defense in a no-win situation — they either get picked or give up a downhill shooting lane. It's a simple two-man action that generates a high-percentage shot with minimal moving parts.

Top Flip With A Sneaky Mumbo
This man-up play uses a flip up top to draw the defense’s attention while a perfectly timed mumbo down low quietly shifts the offense. As the crease and wing exchange, the low defender is forced into a split-second decision—and that’s where the breakdown happens.

How to Run a 4v3 Fast Break
The 4v3 fast break is one of the purest moments in lacrosse. Four players, three defenders, and a box that cannot be covered. Every player on the field knows an opportunity has just opened up — the question is whether your team is disciplined enough to take it.

Attack the Moment: Scoring While Subbing
When both teams are subbing simultaneously, that is one of the best moments to attack the goal.The defense is unsettled, the slides are broken, and the space favors you — it's low risk, high reward, and most defenses aren't ready for it.

Alley Doge, Crease Fade, Attack the weak side
This uses a high alley dodge to shift the defense and create a wide-open weak-side shot. A team with a decent LAX IQ can incorporate into their offense naturally with a call.
Pick Behind Crease Fade Away
When two attackmen work behind the cage, they force the defense to spread and commit, creating opportunities up top and on the crease. A well-timed pick for the ball carrier combined with a crease man fading to the far pipe gives the offense a high-percentage look that is nearly impossible to defend when executed with patience and timing.

Stack the Crease, Punish the Predictable Slide
When you stack your crease players vertically, the defense has nowhere to hide. The top dodge forces the first slide, the inside pop triggers rotation, and one more pass finds the backside wing for a clean step-down. Simple structure. High-percentage offense.

Split the Field. Run a 2-Man Game. Attack the Weakest Link
Split the field and isolate your best matchup — often a short stick — by running a disciplined 2-man game on the wing that you’ve practiced repeatedly, so execution beats preparation even when the defense knows it’s coming. Keep the weak side active with movement, spacing, and sticks up so defenders can’t slide, forcing the defense to either give up the matchup or leave an open shooter.
