Offensive Attack: Formations
Let players be creative within a structured offensive framework
I’ve mentioned a number of times that I like to give players set positions and responsibilities in the defensive zone. This helps keep players accountable when breakdowns occur (it’s easier to pinpoint the problem and say “why wasn’t the “sagman” in the low slot?” for example).
However, as the play progresses into the offensive zone, I like to encourage players to be creative within a structured framework. I like to attack using the “Attack Triangle,” which is based on solid front-side and back-side support. There are many different attack options that can be executed within this framework.
So… teach your players to attack using the triangle, and make sure they understand proper support tactics, then let them do their thing!!

Enjoy!
