2. After setting a pick for a teammate you should

Explanation

depending on location (direction determined by whether you're behind or up top) you should always roll to get open because you will immediately gain a step on your defender

Submit
3. In a normal situation, there are how many offensive players on the field

Explanation

In a normal situation, there are six offensive players on the field. This includes the quarterback, running back, wide receivers, and tight ends. These players are responsible for advancing the ball and scoring points for their team. Having six offensive players allows for various strategies and formations to be utilized during a game.

Submit
4. When under heavy pressure while posessing the ball, a player should

Explanation

when more than one defender is on you (in normal 6-on-6 play), a teammate is open somewhere. Run to an open space to find him - he might be in position for a quick feed for a shot.

Submit
5. A player should dodge in a man-up situation

Explanation

In a man-up situation, the team with more players has the advantage, so it is not necessary for a player to dodge. Instead, the player can pass the ball quickly to take advantage of the numerical superiority and create scoring opportunities. Dodging may lead to unnecessary turnovers and decrease the team's chances of scoring. Therefore, the correct answer is false.

Submit
6. When clearing inbetween the boxes, foward most midfielder with the ball should pass when unchallenged

Explanation

midfielder should never stop running in a straight line between the boxes and pass down the side to an open attackman.

Submit
7. When doubled by a crease-sliding defense (and the 2 slide is already there) you should

Explanation

The 2 slide should leave the person who just passed you the ball open, so a quick roll back pass will allow them to re-dodge to the side of the field that just opened up, and will be going against the overall direction of the defense.

Submit
8. The direction of a dodge should usually be 

Explanation

the side with the fewest defenders will almost always be the side opposite of where the pass just came from.

Submit
9. When clearing inbetween the boxes, a midfielder should pass the ball as soon as possible to the foward-most open midfielder

Explanation

The ball moves faster than any one person.

Submit
10. When dodging, the players progression is

Explanation

Always dodge to shoot. If it's not there, pass on to the next player. If he's covered, keep the ball as to maintain possession - remember, treat the ball like Gold!

Submit
11. When a slide is fast, the dodging player should

Explanation

When a slide is fast, the dodging player should pass behind the defender. This is because passing behind the defender allows the dodging player to create space and avoid the defender's reach. By passing behind the defender, the dodging player can quickly move the ball to a teammate who is in a better position to score or continue the attack. This strategy helps to maintain possession and increase the chances of a successful play.

Submit
12. When moving the ball into the offensive zone, the player with possession of the ball should (in a regular situation)

Explanation

In a regular situation, when moving the ball into the offensive zone, the player with possession of the ball should make the easiest pass to maintain possession. This means that they should look for the simplest and safest pass option that allows their team to keep control of the ball. This strategy helps to minimize the risk of turnovers and allows the team to continue their offensive play without losing possession. It is a smart and efficient approach to ensure that the team maintains control and can create scoring opportunities.

Submit
13. While posessing the ball in a man-down situation, the best place to get the ball to on the field is 

Explanation

unless an odd-man rush develops, the ball should always be taken behind, whether passed or carried, where the remainder of the penalty should be killed.

Submit
14. When setting up for a dodge, you should wait how many seconds (assuming your adjacent teammate has already cleared space for you)

Explanation

"one hard move and go!" was how I was taught. The more time you take, the more time the defense has to set up. By dodging immediately upon receiving the ball, your defender has to change directions faster, and the slide may not be set up, or two people slide to you, leaving even more people open for an easy dump pass.

Submit
15. When a 4-on-3 fast break quickly turns into a 5-on-4 fast break, the forward most midfielder (the one who brought the ball down) should 

Explanation

the #5 player will take the up top position and the cut could lead to a wide open player on the crease.

Submit
17. A player should cut through when the adjacent player (the dodger)

Explanation

Allows dodging player to immediately go and not give the defense time to set up.

Submit
18. When doubled by an adjancent sliding defense, one should

Explanation

When doubled by an adjacent sliding defense, passing down the side is the best option. This is because the adjacent sliding defense creates a double team on the player with the ball, making it difficult to pass or shoot directly towards the goal. Passing down the side allows the player to move the ball away from the double team and potentially create scoring opportunities for their teammates.

Submit
19. When running a 4-on-3 fast break the midfielder's progression usually is

Explanation



In a 4-on-3 fast break in lacrosse, the optimal progression involves the midfielder first passing to the point man, then making a diagonal pass to challenge the defense, and finally passing down the side to exploit created spaces. This strategy efficiently uses numerical advantage to open shooting opportunities. Correct answer: (D).
Submit
20. When a slide is slow outside of 10 yards, you pass the ball

Explanation

receiving player should also read slide and cut to the appropriate lane.
