INTERMEDIATE POWER PLAYS

4C. Down-Pick - "Quick Stick"

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

• The crease player comes overtop of the pick (Option #2) and instead of rolling to the net after picking, the point player fades into the soft spot creating a passing lane for a quick stick (Option #1). 

• The weak-side shooter acts like they are going to shoot and then passes to the whichever option is open. 

4D. Up-Pick - "Off Ball"  

• The point player passes to the same-handed shooter and then seals for the opposite-handed (weak-side) crease player.  The strong-side crease player simultaneously sets an east-west up-pick for the strong-side shooter.

• Before the pick arrives the ball carrier finds the passing lane for a skip pass to the off-ball crease player (weak-side) and then steps overtop of the pick (Option #1), with the picker rolling to the middle (Option #2).  

• The crease player passes to whichever option is open, otherwise also has the option to shoot if they are wide open after the seal (Option #3).
