with Dave Cottle, University of Maryland Head Lacrosse Coach,
ranks 3rd for most wins among active NCAA Lacrosse Coaches,
15 consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances

Considered to be one of the most innovative coaches in lacrosse today, Cottle gives an excellent demonstration of how you can build your 1-4-1 motion offense. Cottle teaches the complete 1-4-1 offense illustrating his entire system with markerboard diagrams and on-field demonstrations. Cottle demonstrates his screening and cutting series, proper field balance, and pivoting, which are all designed to get your players open for shots. Next, Cottle diagrams numerous options that can take advantage of individual skills and different defensive coverages. He includes set plays, options, and entries into 1-4-1 motion offense to take advantage of a defensive weakness. This offense helps your players see the defensive slides coming and provides great spacing and when the 2-pass theory is implemented, the 1-4-1 is a great offense at any level or program!
