Zone Runner Quick Hitters by Wes Kosel

Attached in this playbook are 12 zone quick hitters utilizing a runner. Some of these plays are from the Division 1 level and others are from the Division 3 level. At Colorado College, we have seen some good zone quick hitters against 2-3 and 1-2-2 zones. Using a runner can be a way to create an overload or force the zone defenders to shift. A lot of teams use runner actions with a shooter to get an open shot or use the runner as a decoy. Either way, the best zone plays force the defense to end up with two players on the ball forcing a scramble situation to recover to shooters.
