Laxlife Lacrosse: Transition Drill #1B - Basic Out & Up ("Run It Deep")

If no fast break is available, wherever possible players transitioning from defense to offense should attempt to “run the ball deep” to the far side in the offensive zone, as low as halfway down the side-boards at the "mid-boards" as we call it, if not pressured. This will turn the heads of the other teams’ defense, sometimes allowing the 3rd, 4th and sometimes 5th player coming off of the bench to be able to get open behind the play, running into the play “late,” as a “trailer.” This is all dependent on transitioning players "clearing the ball" "away from the bench", and players closest to the bench running hard to the bench and beating an opponent off of the floor. When no odd-player advantage presents itself, transitioning defenders should “pull out” of the offensive zone, pass the ball off to a teammate and get off the floor, opting instead for a line change.
