14 Double: Set-Up

“14 Double” is a 1-4-1 “Double Mumbo” play

that allows the dodger plenty of room to

create and the two picks create confusion

because the defense must adjust to the

moving players while also having a slide ready

for the dodge. In “14 Double” the dodger

(M1) wants to initiate his dodge from the

middle of the field, ten yards above the

restraining line…

•Set-up

14 Double: Set Up

Other than M1, who is our dodger, and A1,

who is our attack outlet at “X”, the positions

of the other players can be determined by the

coaches, depending on the strength of

various players. The two crease players,

defined here as X2 and X3 should align

themselves about 2-3 yards above the crease

on the left and right pipe respectively…

•Set-up (Continued)

14 Double: Set Up

X1 and X4 want to start on the left and right

wings about 5 yards above GLE and 7 yards to

either side of the goal. A1 should start behind

the goal at “X” 1-2 yards behind the crease so

he is in position to “sneak” around the goal

and provide back up.

14 Double: Execution

As X1 gets ready to dodge, X1 and X4 begin to

cut to the crease. Once M1 dodges to the goal

and is within 10 yards, X1 sets a pick for X2

and X4 sets a pick for X3. X3 and X4 want to

come off the picks and be in a position where

they can catch and shoot the ball. X1 wants to

dodge for his own shot and look to feed if a

slide occurs. If a defender slides to X1, then

he should look to X2 and X3 on the outside

(most likely) or X1 or X4 on the inside (less

likely).

•Execution

14 Double: Execution

If A1’s defender slides or helps, then A1

should cut around the goal looking for the

ball. Otherwise he should stay behind the

goal to act as a back-up for a missed missed

shot. X1 and X4 want to be in a position to

score after they set the pick. If their man

slides and they are open, they need to be

ready to catch and shoot. If X2 and X3 do not

have a shot after receiving the ball from M1,

they can look to throw a skip pass across the

field to the other outside shooter.

immediately to shoot, if not he wants to look inside at X1 and X4, otherwise he wants to throw a skip through to

should be looking for his shot. Otherwise he wants to look at X2 and

X3, or lastly, the skip through to A1.

14 Double: Final Thoughts

“14 Double” is an extremely effective play and

can be used more than once a game, because

of the various reads and decisions that can be

made on any given play. Depending on how

defenders react, X2 and X3 want want to

either “curl” back to the ball or “fade” away

to open space. ** “14 Double” leaves teams

highly susceptible to transition because no

offensive player rotates back to cover the

middle of the field. Bad shots and turnovers

can be dangerous.
