Deuces

1. Deuces Classic and Options

2. Offensive Theory • Motion vs Patterned • Zone • Questions…. How many ya hiding? • Ball handlers- how many ya got? • Man or Zone..same –just different • Simple to complex.. Peak at the end • Improve Stick skills and slow the game down.

3. Why the 2-2-2? • You can hide 2 on the crease – 4 on the perimeter versus 5 • Picks on crease • Great dodging set for midfielders • Simplicity of the offense- it is motion oriented

4. Basic Alignment – Basic Rules • Crease Attackmen • 1 . Ball at midfield – attackmen are flat and low • Ball with wing attack ball on the side -attackmen are stacked and off ball pipe • Ball behind with wing attack- attackmen are flat high –out of the way. • Figure 1 Wing attack at GLE A1 A2 M3 A3 Crease are low -flat M1 M2 Diagram # 1—Basic Alignment—* general rule: creasemen are low near crease when ball is on top Diagram # 2 Work the ball to “point behind” quickly ; Creasemen should be stacked; creasemen should be 6 yds off crease and 1 yard apart from each other and never wander outside the cylinder of the cage. # 4 with ball should attack the cage and the two creasemen should cut off each others shoulder Diagram # 1—Basic Alignment—* general rule: creasemen are low near crease when ball is on top Diagram # 2 Work the ball to “point behind” quickly ; Creasemen should be stacked; creasemen should be 6 yds off crease and 1 yard apart from each other and never wander outside the cylinder of the cage. # 4 with ball should attack the cage and the two creasemen should cut off each others shoulder Diagram # 1—Basic Alignment—* general rule: creasemen are low near crease when ball is on top Diagram # 2 Work the ball to “point behind” quickly ; Creasemen should be stacked; creasemen should be 6 yds off crease and 1 yard apart from each other and never wander outside the cylinder of the cage. # 4 with ball should attack the cage and the two creasemen should cut off each others shoulder Diagram # 1—Basic Alignment—* general rule: creasemen are low near crease when ball is on top Diagram # 2 Work the ball to “point behind” quickly ; Creasemen should be stacked; creasemen should be 6 yds off crease and 1 yard apart from each other and never wander outside the cylinder of the cage. # 4 with ball should attack the cage and the two creasemen should cut off each others shoulder Diagram # 1—Basic Alignment—* general rule: creasemen are low near crease when ball is on top Diagram # 2 Work the ball to “point behind” quickly ; Creasemen should be stacked; creasemen should be 6 yds off crease and 1 yard apart from each other and never wander outside the cylinder of the cage. # 4 with ball should attack the cage and the two creasemen should cut off each others shoulder

10. After giving the ball to # M2, # 1 cuts back door– do not force— # 2 gives # 1 a quick look and dodges right away; Do not set up the dodge! Get the ball and go!!!!. The idea here is that the offense has been in full motion at this point; therefore so has the defense. If the # 2 Middie waits, the defense has time to set up for the dodge and adjust its slides. The # 2 middie must choose a side and dodge; after 1 cuts back door, he stops at the center of the field and faces # 2 with his back to the goal. The distance should be enough so that # 1 can get out of the way in time should Middie # 2 dodge to the left.

11. If # 2 chooses to dodge to his right, and the D man covering # 1 decides to double team # 2, Middie # 1 rolls right ( since he is facing the dodger) shouts “Double” for the ball and will probably have an open shot or he can initiate a 2 on 1 on the opposite side of the dodge ( with # A1 sneaking) ; when the ball is up top the creasemen # 5 and 6 should be low against the crease screening the goalie.
