An uneven off ball game that emphasizes movement and spacing designed by Jim Mitchell of Princeton Lacrosse

Set Up

put a 2v1 on both sides of the field. 1 Side will start with the ball and an action, like pass down pick down, etc.. The off ball offense will execute a Hammer pick (Upfield Pick) and try to get their hands free. The team that initiated must make a pass to the off ball teammates, and then its a live 4v2

Coaching Points and Principles

  • Picks – working on angles and deception to execute picks and off ball screens
  • Timing – Make sure the off ball team is timing it up on knowing when to try and run the Hammer

Progressions

  • Add more defense to make it all even
  • Use longpole defense
  • Play 3v2 or 4v3 both sides
