Power Play Curl

Inside players beat a zone by constantly cutting, screening, and rotating through its seams instead of standing between defenders. Their movement forces the defense to communicate and shift, creating openings for feeds inside or shots from the perimeter.

This rotation is an effective zone breaker that also works well in player-up situations. As one player cuts through the zone, she pulls a defender with her and creates an open lane for the player rotating behind.

Move and Fill

This offensive concept in women’s lacrosse helps teams create space by having players clear to the crease when a teammate runs toward them with the ball, allowing for better movement and opportunities. The player in the crease can pop open for a pass, or the cutter can drive toward the goal, making both great scoring options as defensive help usually comes from the adjacent or crease defender.

3-3 Zone Ride

The 3-3 Zone Ride is a defensive lacrosse strategy designed to slow down the opponent's transition by forcing the ball to one side of the field and using the sideline as an additional defender, giving your team time to settle into defensive positions. It relies on disciplined rotations, tight marking, and constant communication to limit fast breaks and create challenging passing options for the opponent.
