Centre Pass: Overload

Focus
Centre Pass Set Plays.
Skills
Preliminary Moves & Passing, Goalie Preliminary Moves, Defensive Moves, Vision & Quick Decisions.
Purpose
From the centre pass, run set plays to take advantage of the strengths (e.g. speed/height) of certain players, and maximise space for them to use. Different set-ups can confuse opponents unfamiliar with the strategy. This particular strategy clears an entire half of the court for a defender - with a speed/agility advantage over their opponent - to lead into.

  • Setup

    Choose teams and setup as per the diagram.
  • Step 1

    The team recognise a back-court player with the edge over their opponent at centre passes, in this instance[WD]
    The element of disguise can also allow this to work, especially if back-court players have scarcely been used prior
  • Step 2

    [GA+WA+GD] from attacking team start on the same side of the court - opposite to [WD]
    This will be normal for 2/3 players, however either [WA/GA] upset the court balance by moving across
  • Step 3

    [WD] now has the entire wing to utilise. On the whistle, [WD] bursts into the court, gaining pace.
    [C] should pass once [WD] is in the front-court, so hold passing until [WD] has made some ground
    [GA/WA] are secondary options
  • Step 4

    A feeder can now rush to fill the space ahead of [WA] for the next pass.
    [GS] should screen to disable [GK]'s intercepting opportunity.
  • Step 5

    Optionally continue until a shot / turnover occurs.
