Simple offensive play for my 12u kids but this is run all the way up to the pro level.

Primary Formation: 1-4-1 (One top, four across the middle, one behind).

Phase 1: The Setup
Alignment: The four middle players form a horizontal line across the field.Personnel: This formation places a heavy concentration of players in the "belly" of the defense to create a screen-heavy environment.Phase 2: The Initiation (The "Slam")
The Trigger: The top player initiates a dodge directly toward the goal.The Physical Action: As the dodger moves, the middle players "slam" into their defenders.The Interaction: These middle players may also set picks for each other, creating a chaotic "Belly" of movement that is difficult for defenders to track.Phase 3: The Goal
The Opening: The slamming/screening action typically results in a wide-open cutter breaking right in front of the crease.The Scoring Chance: The goal is to use physical positioning and screens to create a high-percentage interior scoring chance.
