A classic half field set that can be run from youth through the pros. This look provides simple rules for the players to follow on and off the ball. It is often referred to as a “two triangles” offense as the midfielders and attack form respective 3 man triangles. The most important principle of this offense is dodge-pass-pass-dodge (or shoot), meaning we generally want two passes after a dodge before initiating a dodge or shot.How It Works
M2 throws across to M1 who should be moving into the ball for a hard drive down the alley, as the pass is being thrown to M2 the attack will slowly begin their triangle’s rotation
As M1 begins the dodge M2 will “follow” and M3 will “fade”
M1 has many options off the dodge- the primary options are passing back, passing forward, and shooting. Feeding the crease or skipping to the fade M3 are also options.
