Select Team Offense: The 200 Set
The 200 Set: Level of Play
•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.
The 200 Set: Set Up
•Setup
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 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…
The 200 Set: Set Up
•Set Up (Continued)
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.

The 200 Set (M1 Dodging)
The 200 Set: Execution
•Execution (General)
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.
The 200 Set: Execution
•Execution (General Continued)
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.
The 200 Set: Execution
•Execution (If M1 Alley Dodges)
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.

M2
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 (M1 Dodging)
The 200 Set: Execution
• If M1 Throws To A1
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 redodge.
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 (M1 Dodging And Throwing to A1)
The 200 Set: Execution
• If M1 Throws Back To M2
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.
On the re-dodge, M2 wants
to look for his shot. If that is
unavailable, he will look to
the crease or to the frontside sneak from A2.
Otherwise he can roll back
and throw back up top.
The 200 Set (M1 Dodging And Throwing to A1)
The 200 Set: Execution
• If M1 Sweeps
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…

M3
M1
M2
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 (If M1 Sweeps)
The 200 Set: Execution Attack Dodging
•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 offball movement used during the midfield
dodge.

M3
M1
M2
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 (A1 Dodging)
The 200 Set: Execution
• If A1 Sweeps Toward A2
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.
A2
A1
M3
M1
M2
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 (A1 Dodging)
The 200 Set: Final Thoughts
• 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 “22” or the “23”.
