BEGINNER POWER PLAYS

*4C. Skip Pass - "Quick Sticks" 

• The point player plays quick stick with the weak-side shooter, passing back and forth twice (triggering the player), ultimately quick stick skip passing the ball to the opposite-handed crease player,. 

• The crease player either takes a quick stick shot (Option #1) or if they are advanced the crease player can again quick stick a pass ball crease-to-crease for another quick stick shot (Option #2).

• This all depends on the quality of the skip passes.  If the first one is a bad pass then Option #2 might be a better option.  If it's a pass right in the "wheel house," Option #1 is never a bad option if you have crease specialists with good hands.

*4D. Skip Pass - "Z-Pass" (Quick Sticks)

• The point player plays quick stick with the weak-side shooter, passing back and forth, with the shooter ultimately quick stick passing the ball to the opposite-handed shooter, who then skip passes the ball to the opposite-handed crease player,. 

• The crease player either takes a quick stick shot (Option #1) or if they are advanced the crease player can again quick stick a pass ball crease-to-crease for another quick stick shot (Option #2); likely an empty net goal. 

• *Note:  This play also works well against a Diamond Defense
