Best offensive strategy video I’ve seen for lacrosse. Has helped me emulate many of these offenses for my teams as well as develop my own offenses based on a lot of these principles. Excellent work friend. Would love you to make another one of these with different 6v6 offenses.
Thank you for sharing the break down of these offensive sets in a video format, plus including several others! this is exactly what I was looking for to not only further explain but to show the breakdown of many possibilities on each set rotation/play to my team.
thank you for these videos, im having trouble with our defensive positioning and what to do when we are man down and who to cover, watching these videos is really helping me and making a key player for our team. still a little shakey with our defense but these videos really help! thanks alot. Is there any good videos of a Defensive middie? I've already seen the UVA one
great video as always. I love the in depth explanation and the reference to these other videos. However, I'm pretty sure some defenses switch it up and play man-to-man when they are in man down. I've played it a lot and it works well because most teams can only play against a zone when they are man up. Do you have any film on this?
You can't play a man-to-man with 5 players against 6. Some man-down zones have rules that make them more similar to a man-to-man than others, but unless you plan on just ignoring the 6th man you have to play a zone.
Lacrosse Film Room That's not really what I mean. It's definitely not a zone since the defense is sticking to a man rather than a zone. If I were to cover a guy carrying the ball I'd follow him anywhere on the field, not sticking to any zone. But besides the three men defending the ball carrier and adjacents the two other D are defending the three men on the back. It's very similar to a typical fast break defensive package, only in 6v5.
jenjef13 Ultimately, few defenses are truly a 100% pure man-to-man or zone. Slide packages in a man defense draw from zone concepts to provide help when someone gets beat. Zones have to rotate or otherwise adapt to the offensive players in order to deal with changing formations and overloads. Your description could be any of 3 of the 4 basic man-down defenses. It's not a static box and 1, but you could be talking about a 4 man rotation, 5 man rotation or what I would call a "piston" zone where you match-up around the perimeter and the backside defenders are responsible for the crease. I'd have to know how you play the crease to know for sure. Whichever one you play, it's still fundamentally a zone. It's just that the zone of the on ball defender moves with the ball and the other zones adjust accordingly, so that the on ball look is the same as a man. When determining if a defense is a man or a zone, you can't just look at 1 or 2 players, you have to look at the whole defense. Fast break defenses are functionally a zone for a few seconds. The defense comes out of the man-to-man and plays 4 on 3 or 5 on 4 until the middies get back and they can go back to their man defense.
Lacrosse Film Room Loved the video, and I loved the ability to go look at each situation individually. Would it be possible to get more videos posted of Denver's different offensive sets? Or is there a place where I can go back and watch their games from the past couple years? ESPN removed them from their "Replay" section.
There really isn't any good video of rides or clears to break down. The camera angles don't show enough of the field to see where all of the players are. There are a couple videos that are compilations of rides and clears from a game.

you're a beautiful person for making this so well organized...

5 Year at JV this is my 1st year as Varsity coach and these clips. w/ the arrows and explanations are unbelievably helpful!! Thank you so much!
You're welcome. Glad I could help.
You do really good analysis of lacrosse. Thanks a lot for the time and effort it took you to put this and other videos together!
this is an awesome explanation of rotations and wheel plays !!!
Love the videos. Great work.
Thank you so much. Please keep doing these

Thank you! Love the channel
Great stuff! Thanks
What software did you use to edit this? It looks fantastic!
nice content, love the video links at the end, nice touch
Are these wheel plays rehearsed or are they more improvised - the players game sense is just so good they know where to replace?
+TheHalfList Almost certainly planned and rehearsed

Dallin Kimber You can watch a full game of them playing Notre Dame last year here: ruclips.net/video/oQwRnYY9lpI/видео.html
Do you have any good breakdowns of rides/clears? Your offense/defense videos are fantastic.

Luke could never figure out how to clear
Not sure how you even saw my RUclips comment, but well done sir.
HAHA, youtube is integrated with google + so anything you post public on youtube shows up on google +
I love you
how can i acess the videos mentioned at the end?
Each play has it's own video for the viewer's sake? Or so that you get way more views by splitting them up than you would've otherwise?
tbh im doing lacrosse practice on zone defense and everyone else gets it but me
can you make a video of a backer zone defense?
I don't think I have any video of someone playing one. I'm not sure any D1 teams play one.
alright thanks
