The 2-Behind, 4-Flat up top

By Joe Juter

This formation uses a two-man game behind the goal while four players stay spread across the top, forcing the defense to choose between helping inside or staying matched up outside. If they help, it creates quick ball movement and open shots up top; if they don’t, the offense has space to attack and score from behind.

Alley Dodge Pick

By Joe Juter

The pick-behind combined with an alley dodge puts the defense in a no-win situation — they either get picked or give up a downhill shooting lane. It's a simple two-man action that generates a high-percentage shot with minimal moving parts.

By Joe Juter

This man-up play uses a flip up top to draw the defense’s attention while a perfectly timed mumbo down low quietly shifts the offense. As the crease and wing exchange, the low defender is forced into a split-second decision—and that’s where the breakdown happens.

By Joe Juter

Pick Behind Crease Fade Away

By Joe Juter

When two attackmen work behind the cage, they force the defense to spread and commit, creating opportunities up top and on the crease. A well-timed pick for the ball carrier combined with a crease man fading to the far pipe gives the offense a high-percentage look that is nearly impossible to defend when executed with patience and timing.

Stack the Crease, Punish the Predictable Slide

By Joe Juter

When you stack your crease players vertically, the defense has nowhere to hide. The top dodge forces the first slide, the inside pop triggers rotation, and one more pass finds the backside wing for a clean step-down. Simple structure. High-percentage offense.

Split the Field. Run a 2-Man Game. Attack the Weakest Link

By Joe Juter

Split the field and isolate your best matchup — often a short stick — by running a disciplined 2-man game on the wing that you’ve practiced repeatedly, so execution beats preparation even when the defense knows it’s coming. Keep the weak side active with movement, spacing, and sticks up so defenders can’t slide, forcing the defense to either give up the matchup or leave an open shooter.
