Select Team Offense: 22 Green and 13 Green

22 Green: Level of Play

“22 Green” is a simple give-and-go (Green)

out of our regular “22 set”. The movements

are simple and suitable for teams at all skill

levels, and should be easy for players of any

age group to learn and understand.

•Level of Play (22 Green)

22 Green: Set Up

The set up for “22 Green” is identical to our

regular “22 set” with the dodge initiating

from either one of the top two midfield spots

(M1 or M2). For the sake of explanation, we

will assume M1 is our dodger in this instance.

22 Green: Execution

22 Green starts like the regular 22 with a

midfield dodge down the side. On the dodge,

the two players on the crease (M3 and A3)

want to make their typical “22” cuts,

providing room for the dodger, and getting

open for potential the feeds. After his dodge,

M1 is going to move the ball down the side

to A1, and then he is going to continue cutting

into the crease as if this is part of his regular

rotation…

•Execution (22 Green)

22 Green: Execution Continued

It’s important that M1 “sell” this not as a

“cut” in which he’s looking for the ball, but as

a rotation into the crease. The hope is that

M1’s defender will be caught ball watching

(following the ball). At the last moment, M1

wants to “V-cut” back to the ball and receive

a pass from A1.

After M1 has moved the ball down the side to A1,

he wants “rotate” into crease, then “V-cut”

back to the ball looking for a feed from A1.

22 Green: Final Thoughts

“22 Green” is an excellent play to mix in at

various points during the game. If the play is

successful once, the defense tends to be

ready for it, but when used correctly, it can be

very successful—especially as an “opener”

(the first play of the game). The most

important elements in this play, are the

midfielders ability to “sell” the rotation, and

the timing of the “V-cut” and feed. The play

can also be run to either side with all

movements reversed.

13 Green: Level of Play

“13 Green” is a simple give-and-go (Green)

out of our regular “13 set”. The movements

are simple and suitable for teams at all skill

levels, and should be easy for players of any

age group to learn and understand.

•Level of Play (13 Green)

13 Green: Set Up

The set up for “13 Green” is identical to our

regular “13 set” with the play initiating with

either one of the top two midfield spots (M1

or M2). For the sake of explanation, we will

assume M1 is our dodger in this instance.

“13 Green” starts with M1 throwing the ball

down the side as if he’s initiating our regular

“13 offense”. On the throw, the midfielders

will begin their regular rotation. M1 will

continue to the crease while M2 and M3

rotate and follow. Just as he did in, “22

Green” it’s important that M1 “sell” this not

as a “cut” in which he’s looking for the ball,

but as a rotation into the crease…
