Team Offense: The 200 Set
The 200 Set: Level of Play
The “200” set is a simple set that is suitable
for players of all ages and skill levels. “200”
can be used in much the same was “60” and
“60 Go” are used, as a set designed to “take
the air” out of the ball, slow the pace of the
game and give the defense time to rest. For
simplicity sake we will only be implementing
the “200” at the higher levels.
•Level of Play
The 200 Set: Set Up
This offense utilizes a wide, creaseless 2-2-2
formation (or a 2 circle) which consists of two
players up-top in front of the goal, two wide
players even with the crease, and two players
behind the goal. Typically the players up-top
are midfielders and the players behind the
goal are attackmen. The players on the crease
are, therefore, one attackman and one
midfielder…
•Set-up
The 200 Set: Set Up
A1 and A2 start approximately 5-7 yards
behind the goal and 5-7 yards to the left and
right of the goal respectively. M1 and M2
start at the top of the restraining box and 5-7
yards to the left and right respectively. M3
and A3 start midway between the restraining
line and the goal line and on the right and left
edges of the box.

M2M1
The 200 Set: Execution
This offense can start at any of the four
locations: the high left wing (M1), the high
right wing (M2), the back right corner (A1)
and the back left corner (A2). The “22” is
designed to spread the defense out and force
them to slide adjacent (due to a lack of a
crease). Regardless of which player attacks,
the movements in the “200” will be identical
and will involve the adjacent player cutting
through to create space.
•Execution (General)
The 200 Set: Execution
Regardless of the above method of attack, the
crease players always want to align
themselves opposite the ball to maximize
dodging space and create longer sides. If the
ball is behind they want to be higher. If it is up
top with the middies, they want to stay low.
•Execution (General Continued)
The 200 Set: Execution
If M1 starts the offense with a 1v1 alley dodge
or a dodge “down the side”. M3 will
immediately cut through, while looking for
the ball. His man will be the slider, so he will
be open momentarily, as the second slide will
have to come from a longer distance than
normal. M1 will look for the M3 on the cut. As
this movement is happening, A1 wants to curl
to the ball, A2 wants to move to “X” behind
and M2 wants to follow the dodger. A3 wants
to pinch to the backside.
•Execution (If M1 Alley Dodges)
The 200 Set (M1 Dodging)
A1 A2
A3
M3
M2M1
The 200 Set (M1 Dodging)
M1 wants to look immediately for M3 if the
shot is not available. Otherwise he wants to move the ball on to A1
ahead or M2 on the rollback.
The 200 Set: Execution
If M1 throws to A1, then M3 wants to cut
toward the ball. A1 will look to the crease, or
to the backside for A3, otherwise he wants to
throw the ball to A2 at “X” who will then re-
dodge.
• If M1 Throws To A1
The 200 Set (M1 Dodging And Throwing to A1)
A1 wants to look to the crease for M3, then he
wants to look to the backside at A3.
Otherwise he will move the ball to A2 at “X” for
the re-dodge.
On the re-dodge, A2 wants to dodge for his shot. If he
doesn’t get his shot, he wants to look ahead to M2 or into the crease. Otherwise, he
wants to roll-back, or throw ahead and settle the ball.
The 200 Set: Execution
Sometimes A1 is covered on the initial dodge
and M1 cannot throw the ball to this player.
In this scenario, M1 has to “roll back” away
from pressure and throw to M2. In this
instance, M2 will look to re-dodge, while M3
and A3 will look to find openings for feeds.
• If M1 Throws Back To M2
The 200 Set (M1 Dodging And Throwing to A1)
On the re-dodge, M2 wants to look for his shot. If that is
unavailable, he will look to the crease or to the front-side
sneak from A2. Otherwise he can roll back and throw back
up top.
The 200 Set: Execution
If M1 sweeps across the top instead of “down
the side” on the initial dodge, then M2 and
the adjacent player, whether it’s an
attackmen or a midfielder (in this case it’s
A3), need to “cut through” to create dodging
space, while also looking for the ball if their
defender slides. A2 wants to show for an
outlet. M3 wants to roll up top. M2 wants to
cut all the way through to the backside…
• If M1 Sweeps
The 200 Set (If M1 Sweeps)
A1 A2
A3
M3
M2M1
The 200 Set (If M1 Sweeps)
On the sweep, M1 is looking for his shot. If the shot is not available, he wants to look
inside at the crease. Otherwise he wants to move the ball down the side to A2, or he
wants to throw back across the top to M3 rolling up to replace.
The 200 Set: Execution Attack Dodging
The “200” can be initiated by M1 or M2, but it
can also be initiated by A1 or A2. In both
attack dodging scenarios, the off-ball
movement is an inverted version of the off-
ball movement used during the midfield
dodge.
•Execution (Attack Dodging)
The 200 Set (A1 Dodging)
A1A2
A3
M3
M2M1
The 200 Set (A1 Dodging)
A1 wants to look for the M3 on the “cut through”. If that is not open, or if A1 is unable to get his shot, he wants to look to his skip lanes. Otherwise
he wants to roll-back to “X” or throw the ball up top to M1.
The 200 Set: Execution
If A1 decides to dodge toward A2, A2 can
either set an on ball screen or cut through. If
he cuts through, then he needs to “mirror”
the dodger and circle behind the cage to
provide back up. While this is happening, the
next adjacent (A3 in this case) will also cut
through, while looking for the ball in the
event that his man becomes the slider. M2
wants to roll down for the ball. M1 wants to
look for a skip lane.
• If A1 Sweeps Toward A2
The 200 Set (A1 Dodging)
A1A2
A3
M3
M2M1
The 200 Set (A1 Dodging)
On the sweep, or two-man game, A1 wants to look for his shot. If that’s unavailable, he wants to look to the crease to A3, to the backside for M3,
ahead to M2, or to M1 on the skip. Otherwise he wants to
rollback and re-set.
The 200 Set: Final Thoughts
The “200” is a simple “circle” set designed to
slow the pace of the game. The set can also
be used as a base set. The wide open,
“creaseless” offense, forces defenses to slide
adjacent. These are easy for offensive player
to read and they create excellent cutting and
feeding lanes. The “200” is also a nice pace
setting way to move into the “21”.
