Coaching points

• Put your best dodger, or your best matchup, way up top. On the dodge both crease men back out under the wings' picks.
• Draw the slide, pass down to the Mumbo man, then pick for him right away: pass down, pick down. He curls topside.
• The defender who recovers to him has to be the next slide, then gets picked, then has to switch. Read the step-down, or the doorstep if they switch.
• Nothing there? Pass it down to the other side and run the same pass down, pick down: that is the weave.
• This is POWLAX's Double Mumbo to Weave, a coach's variation. POWLAX credits it to a high school team they played.
