1. ONE player in middle constantly cutting away and back to ball to lose her defender 2. Use the entire 11m to cut to and away from ball 3. CHANGE OF SPEED AND DIRECTION will be KEY to being open 4. Girls on the outside can CUT THROUGH the entire 11 IF they time it, NOT everyone can cut at once! 5. Girls behind can also CUT THROUGH or SWITCH with each other
-If players from the outside cut ALL THE WAY through the 11m (don't STOP halfway), the other girs MUST SHIFT to maintain the same BALANCED formation -Mini-monkey can exchange with an outside player to try to mess up the defense BUT it MUST BE COMMUNICATED -Everyone MUST BE DYNAMIC & MOVING at all times! -Keep your head up on the outside when you have the ball to make the FEED QUICKLY, there are limited opportunities that the girl in the middle will be open so we MUST TAKE THEM -You can also drive if you have the lane to do so but the major point of this play is to have the girl in the middie work HARD to be an option or hit the CUTTERS moving through the entire 11m
