Pop passing is an offensive concept in men’s lacrosse that uses player movement to create short passing options and help the offense move the ball around the field.
The concept involves a player moving into an available space to receive a pass, giving the ball carrier another option and helping the offense maintain possession.
The play begins with offensive players positioned around the offensive zone.
As the ball carrier holds possession, a teammate moves into an open area to become a passing option. The ball carrier can pass to that player, who can then move the ball to another teammate.
