DESCRIPTION
“Trinity X” (2X) Formation: 2 players at 3 and 4; 5 players at High L and Y Formation Possibilities for the “2 person game” (at 3 and 4): crease roll, “throw back; cut through,” “throw back; screen and drive,” “throw back; screen and roll with a dump,” and “opposite pipe”2 person game Players at the High L and Y cut and screen for one another. Cuts to the crease use the upper portion of the 8m allowing the 2 players behind room to operate. – Work to time cuts and keep the 8 open. – Caution: midfielders make sure that we have one player at High Y to guard against the fast break, and the attack is responsible to “back up” the play (someone behind the goal).TRANSCRIPT
“Trinity”—the Two Series
“Trinity”—the Two Series
Two Series—2 players on one side and 5 on the opposite side of the 8m. The location tells where the 2 players will start with the ball
Trinity X—the ball and 2 players are at XTrinity R—the ball and 2 players are on the right Trinity L—the ball and 2 players are on the leftTrinity M—2 players are in the middle
“Trinity X” (2X)• Formation: 2 players at 3 and 4; 5 players at High L and Y• Possibilities for the “2 person game” (at 3 and 4): crease roll,
“throw back; cut through,” “throw back; screen and drive,” “throw back; screen and roll with a dump,” and “opposite pipe”
• Players at the High L and Y cut and screen for one another. Cuts to the crease use the upper portion of the 8m allowing the 2 players behind room to operate.– Work to time cuts and keep the 8 open.– Caution: midfielders make sure that we have one player at High Y to
guard against the fast break, and the attack is responsible to “back up” the play (someone behind the goal).

“Trinity X” (2X)
“Trinity L” (2L)• Formation: 2 players at E; 2, 4, and 3 players at O
– It’s key that the player at 2 stays on the opposite side of the crease—or else she’ll bring her defender over to the “2 side.”
• Possibilities for the “2 person game” (at E)– Draw and dump– Feed opposite side cutters
• Players at E cut and screen for one another. Cuts to the crease use their half of the 8m allowing the 2 players at E room to operate. Time cuts and keep the 8m open.
• Players at 2 and 4: these players may get involved in the cuts and screen, but need to make sure we have one player at High Y to guard against the fast break and one “backing up” the play (someone behind the goal).

“Trinity R” (2R)• Formation: 2 players at O; 1, 3, and 3 players at E
– It’s key that the player at 1 stays on the opposite side of the crease—or else she’ll bring her defender over to the “2 side.”
• Possibilities for the “2 person game” (at O)– Draw and dump– Feed opposite side cutters
• Players at E cut and screen for one another. Cuts to the crease use their half of the 8m allowing the 2 players at O room to operate. Time cuts and keep the 8m open.
• Players at 1 and 3: these players may get involved in the cuts and screen, but need to make sure we have one player at High Y to guard against the fast break and one “backing up” the play (someone behind the goal).

“Trinity R” (2R)
“Trinity M” (2M)• Formation: 2 players at L; X, O, E, 1, and 2• Players at L
– Screen for one another; post up: move, pivot, and seal off. – Choke up on sticks. – Call name of player where they want the feed to come from. – Timing is everything on everything (cuts, screens and rotation of ball)
• Perimeter players: – Catch and look inside; if it’s not there, pass immediately. It’s
imperative to keep the ball moving, so the defense cannot rest. – After 20-30 seconds, “one in, one out”=exchange a post player for
one on perimeter; post player screens for the perimeter player.
• Emphasis: the ball MUST move on the perimeter before finding player in the middle.

Necessary Skills for “Trinity Series”• Teach Post Up: Get an inside step on your defender by faking a cut-
through, stop abruptly and pin her on your back (box her out). Another way of doing this is to fake a pick on the ball. If your defender thinks you’re setting a pick, she’s more likely to give you space and stay on your back. From there you can back her in and show for the ball—calling for the pass between your shoulders.– Note: Apply this technique to other locations on the field, i.e. getting open on a clear.
• Teach Pivoting: On the catch, pivot on your inside or outside foot, and square up to goal before shooting. Technique: jump stop—low landing, knees bent, low pivot “outside” (right foot); pivot running—run out, catch ball, jump stop, pivot outside, run, pivot inside (left foot). Drill: right—inside and outside; left—inside and outside.
• "Trinity M" Feed Drill: Ball starts at 1, moves to 2; moves to 4, to 3--meanwhile 2 players at L picks for one another; feed comes from 3.
