Offensive sets, man-up looks, rides, spacing, and decision rules for men's lacrosse.
This man up play follows the basic concept of overloading a side of the zone and forcing a defender in a zone to cover multiple players and/or communicate with his teammates at a high level.
This play is a simple 3 man wheel off ball that makes our best left handed feeder the QB of a play that offers him many options to choose from. This play provides many different looks and nicely resets the formation to run the play again. You can also flip the wheel and run it on the other side if you want to get it to the lefties.
This works great if you have strong dodgers up top that you want to clear space for and two smart attackmen who you want to keep behind to help run the offense.
.This dodge is a great way to get a wing player open with a shot while clearing space for a quality dodger to get to the goal.
This is a great man up play out of a 2-3-1 set as it has many looks in the course of the rotation, overloads to one side and ends in the same set it began in making it easy to continue with your offense.
Maybe you love the double mumbo pop but a circle offense is more in line with your offense then a 1-4-1 with two men in the crease.
The most common man up formation is the "3-3" where three middies play high and three attackmen play low. If you are a fan of the dodge and fill philosophy this carry and fill concept will work very well for your man up out of 3-3. It is a very simple scheme that can be executed at any level if practices regularly
Man-up offense in men’s lacrosse capitalizes on the numerical advantage created by an opponent’s penalty.

By following these strategies, teams can effectively utilize their extra-man situations to score goals.
