The Motion Offense, with Lehigh Assistant Coach, John Crawley

I think this is a very interesting webinar for all lacrosse coaches.� What I love about this presentation is it truly allows players to learn how to be decision makers.� The backside down pick that is executed out of motion is a very interesting movement that both occupies defenders as well as creating great pop, curl, and slip options. Crawley knows how to optimize an offense, since he helped bolster any offense that he joined. He offers his experiences to help coaches and players with the timing aspect of the game, one of the most difficult facets. Furthermore, he offers his principles to increase offensive efficiceny and they are not as complicated of concepts as one may believe. Coach Crawley even offers game film analysis to better explain his ideas and how to implement them. His lacrosse mind is one that everyone wishes they had, so take this course as an opportunity to help separate you and your team from the pack.1 Intro to Motion Offense for John 5:29 2 The "Why" to Playing a Motion Offense 1:22 3 Developing Decision Makers 1:25 4 Advantages of putting the onus on the players 2:16 5 Practice Video Breakdown 7:56 6 Keys for Players 2:22 7 Keys for Coaches 2:44 8 Principles of Motion Offense Overview 0:36 9 Principle 1: 1-3-2 Setup 0:22 10 Principle 2: Do "Something" 2:39 11 Principle 2a: Dodge 2:31 12 Principle 2b: Cut Types & Cut Technique 8:39 13 Principle 2c: Screen Types & Screen Technique 11:33 14 Principle 2d: Pick Types & Pick Technique 13:12 15 Knowing Why/When To Pick 3:23 16 Principle 2e: Flips 1:59 17 Principle 3: Outlets in Front and Behind the Ball 4:36 18 Game Video Breakdown 5:38 19 Wrap Up and Look at How It Evolves 1:30 20 What It Creates and What it Takes 3:42 21 End Conclusion 1:59John Crawley is a young man with EXTRAORDINARY talent and experience.
