Conversation with Coach P
Today, I sit down with Coach Gary Pottebaum. With years of experience shaping both boys’ and girls’ lacrosse programs, Coach P has become a driving force in youth sports, building not just teams but a true lacrosse culture. Our conversation dives deep into his strategic approach, the art of player development, and his philosophy on leadership. Tune in for insights that every aspiring coach, player, or lacrosse fan won’t want to miss. Key takeaways include:

2-2-3 Triangle Offense
The 2-2-3 Triangle Offense in women’s lacrosse uses constant movement, quick passing, and triangle formations to create space and scoring opportunities. The two crease players stay active by cutting, setting screens, and repositioning to avoid violating the 3-second rule while maintaining offensive pressure.
Balancing Structure and Creativity in Women’s Lacrosse: Integrating Set Plays with a Principles-Based Offense
In women’s lacrosse, balancing structure with a principles-based offense empowers players to develop creativity and adaptability while retaining some organized starting points. By incorporating set plays to initiate movement, teams can build confidence and fluidity, allowing players to read the game and make dynamic decisions on the field.
Motion Offense in Women’s Lacrosse
The motion offense in women’s lacrosse focuses on constant movement, quick passing, and effective spacing to disrupt defenses and create scoring opportunities. By emphasizing off-ball movement and maintaining proper positioning, it helps players generate open lanes for shots while promoting teamwork and communication. This strategy enhances lacrosse IQ and keeps defenders off balance, leading to more high-quality scoring chances for the offense.
