Coaching points
- Make the zone beat you with ball movement. Every pass makes it shift; quick passes make it shift late.
- The two inside players force the zone to mark them. Feed the post and the zone steps into the 8, pinches to the middle and floods the ball side.
- Then skip it to the backside wing. The defenders who were sucked in have to run back out, and the backside is a 1v1 before the zone gets back. From that outside spot, shoot with a strong left hand.
- From Katie Woods' House against the zone and Brockport's Steve Wagner (a skip-pass ISO "works against zones"), with US Lacrosse's Level 3 workbook on attacking zones.
