INTERMEDIATE POWER PLAYS

4A. Down-Pick - "On-Ball"

• The point player passes to the same-side shooter, cuts the middle and then picks for the same-side crease player. 

• The shooter passes to the same-side crease player before the pick arrives, with the crease player running up toward the soft spot as the pick arrives.

• The crease player can either shoot (Option #1), pass to the point player who rolls to the net (Option #2), or pass to the off-ball crease player (Option #3); the weak-side shooter filling at the point position is also another option on this play (Option #4). 

• Variation:  This play may also be run off-ball as well (similar to the bottom diagram).

4B. Down-Pick - "Off-Ball"  

• The point player passes to the weak-side shooter, which triggers the strong-side shooter to cut the middle (Option #1) and if they don't receive a pass they pick for the same-side crease player. 

• The crease player comes overtop of the pick and up toward the soft spot (Option #2); the picker rolls to the middle (Option #3). 

• Variation:  The pass can come from the weak-side shooter, or from the off-ball crease player as a slight variation.
