Select Team Offense: Special Plays (22 Purple and 13 Purple)

22 Purple

22 Purple: Level of Play

“22 Purple” is a simple pick-away (purple) 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.

22 Purple: Set-up

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

regular “22 set” with the dodge initiating

from either one of the attack spots spots (A1

or A2), or from the midfield spots. For the

sake of explanation, we will first assume A1 is

our dodger. Then we will look at M1 as the

dodger.

22 Purple: Execution A1 Dodging

22 Purple starts like the regular 22 with an

attackman initiating a dodge from behind. On

the dodge, the two players on the crease (M3

and A3) are going to set a double screen form

the opposite midfielder (M2 in this case). On

the dodge, M3 and A3 are going to move up

the field and for a two-man “picket fence”.

Once this screen is set, M2 is going to “V-cut”

as if he is going to go “under” the screen, and

then he wants to cut hard over the top and

look to A1 for a feed.

On the dodge M1 can provide an adjacent

outlet for the dodger (A1), and A2 wants to

slide over to X to provide an outlet and back-

up on any shots.

22 Purple: Execution M1 Dodging

22 Purple can be initiated with a midfield

dodge as well. On the dodge, the two players

on the crease (M3 and A3) are going to set a

double screen for the opposite attackman (A2

in this case). On the dodge, M3 and A3 are

going to to the opposite pipe and form a two-

man “picket fence”. Once this screen is set, A2

is going to “V-cut” as if he is going to go

“under” the screen, and then he wants to cut

hard over the top and look to M1 for the feed.

•Execution (22 Purple M1 Dodges)

22 Purple: Execution M1 Dodging Continued

On the dodge M2 is going to roll over to the

middle of the field to provide an outlet for the

dodger (M1), and A1 wants to slide over to

provide an outlet for M1, while also being

aware of the need to back up any potential

shots.

22 Green: Final Thoughts

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

various points during the game. The play can

be initiated from any of the four spots in the

22 set (M1, M2, A1 and A2). The movements

will just be the reverse of those seen here. If

the 22 Purple is successful once, the defense

tends to be ready for it, but when initiated

from different spots—and used properly—the

play can be effective on multiple occasions.

13 Purple: Level of Play

“13 Green” is a simple pick-away (purple) 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.

13 Purple: Set Up

The set up for “13 Purple” 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: Execution

“13 Green” starts the way our normal 13 set

would start. The dodger (in this case M1)

wants to make his move. On the dodge,

rather than follow the dodger, as he would in

a regular 13, M2 will screen down for the

midfielder on the crease. The midfielder on

the crease (M3), wants to curl up and look for

the feed. **It’s important to take into account

the strengths of the players involved. In the

following demo, M3 should probably be a left-

hand dominant player.

“13 Green” the crease wants to be aware of

where the dodger is coming from…
