Man-Up Offense

In the video, there is a good man-up opportunity at 12:45-13:25

Yellow card on the defense! Don’t get too excited, don’t try to be the hero. Follow these tips on how to work a man-up opportunity and create an easy scoring opportunity! 

1. When we are man-up on offense, our mentality should be-let the BALL do the work.
2. We do not need to have a million cutters or dodges going through the 8m. While these strategies work, there is a more effective and less tiresome method we can utilize.
3. Quick and precise ball movement around the 8m will have the defense sliding continuously-as a result they will tire out very quickly.
4. Once we recognize the defense is tired and late on their slides, it will be easy to find an open lane or open player/cutter on the back side
5. We might even put 1 or 2 girls in the middle to float around inside the 8m to be an option and distraction to the defense
6. Key takeaways:

• Hold your space wide around the 12m
• Move the ball quickly and efficiently-let the ball do all the work
• Always check the middle as you move the ball
• Tire the defense out and ATTACK
