Rotating Motion Box Offense with 2 Men in the Crease

By Joe Juter

The 1-4-1 Rotating Motion Box offensive scheme is great for dodgers as it creates space. It makes it very easy to bring the top two defenders into the crease which creates good matchups on the perimeter. Keep in mind that strong takeaway defenders HATE being trapped on the crease as they want to play the ball to be more proactive in creating a turnover. These aggressive and now pent up strong defensemen have a tendency to slide very early leaving the crease men open.

Side Diamond Wheel

By Joe Juter

A 4-man wheel on the side in man-up offense forces the defense to rotate, communicate, and cover multiple moving players, increasing the chances of a missed slide or an open shooter. The constant movement creates better passing angles, skip lanes, and shooting opportunities, making it harder for the defense to stay organized and react in time.

Pull and Reverse

By Joe Juter

A 2-2-2 man-up play uses precise ball movement and synchronized off-ball rotations to force defensive adjustments, creating gaps for cutters and wide-open shooters. The structure ensures constant offensive options, with built-in resets that maintain spacing and pressure on the defense.

Double Triangles High & Low

By Joe Juter

Running a man-up offense with a midfield triangle rotating together and an attack triangle rotating together forces the defense to constantly adjust, creating natural overloads, 2v1 situations, and open passing lanes. This structure maintains spacing, facilitates quick ball movement, and naturally generates picks and seals, making it easier to exploit defensive breakdowns for high-percentage scoring opportunities.
