Favorite Names for Lax Plays

[Agent Orange]

Hey -just wondering what are some of your favorite names for plays, formations, D-packages, rides, clears, etc.

For example, our call-out when we want to jump a player when on man-down is "Rambo".

[CSlax06]

We have an amazing play called G-Unit. The A/M dudes huddle, scream G-Unit then one guy picks up the ball with his hand and everyone runs around screaming and he throws it in the goal.

[Laxer1241]

Its not really a play but it works and get us pumped up. So heres the story were in the turkeyshoot and already lost so we have nothing else to play for, we go to our next game and start warming up then somone screams out byah! so everyone just starts doin this and startmaking like D1 passes somehow like behind the backs. So we start the game and everyone screams byah when we score,make a hit...etc.Well we endup after the first quarter having everyone except one of our poles score and we owned them when they had a 5 on 3 (pretty good). Ok so everything is the same in the second except one memerable play was a fast break I slid up to cover the middie ha passed it off then my friend slid over while scrreaming BYAH! and I kid you not the attackmen saw this and screamed in fright ashe got hit and toatly passed it far from the goal. It was hilarious because he was so scared and got a ragging on by his teamates.

On my summer team we have the "Mumbo", my club team (8th grade) had a funny name for their slide from across the crease, but i cant remeber the name, maybe cause I was the ball carrier/victim every single time they practiced them coming across to deck me, and we repeated it many times. :D

My club usually has an Alumni game, HS vs. Alumni, and they have the best plays. (alumni) One was called "Red Headed Step Child", in which the field players, and bench, rushed the field at the start of the faceoff as the faceoff man tackled the HS faceoff man, and made a huge dog pile. Those gamers were the best to watch. :D

[LILaxGoalie31]

'The Annexation of Puerto Rico'

[somrandomguy]

One play last year was "Chuck Norris" and another was "Andre Wells." Andre Wells is an inside joke the seniors had two years ago that's stuck, though I have no idea what it actually means.

The rest of our plays were just colors, which reminds me of a funny story. So we were playing a team that was alot better than we were, but they couldn't stop our one real play, which was called Red. So we're in the huddle and the conversation goes something like this:

Coach: Everytime, get the ball to the middie and run Red.
Attackman: Won't they figure out what it is eventually?
Coach: Then change the (censored) name. I don't care what the (censored) you call it, yellow, black, orange, whatever, just run the (censored) play. They're on too many steroids to figure it out anyways.

One team in my league had hidden ball play (where two people cross and try to make it look like one guy gives it to the other, so he acts like he doesn't have the ball, and the other guy breaks towards the net like he has the ball while the first guy slowly walks towards the net while everyone focuses on the guy running towards the net) which they called The Annexation of Puerto Rico.

[beeonkuh]

one of our stack plays is called salty named after the captains dead dog that her mom stores in their closet.

[jfjlax]

purple haze. it was just a regular man sneaking around the crease play, but the name was the ****. we also had bong water and pube man

[laxersk8erguy8]

we didn't have plays, but we'd call out crap to confuse the other team. We had assassin, ocho cinco, triple double alley-oop blitz, and when we said man it meant zone, and when we said zone it meant man

[malax31]

My summer team ran plays from hand motions, and one was to rub your manhood (which meant iso haha).

[XwarriorlaxX]

we have this real original play called "the Flying V"

we send everyone on the team up the field in a "V" formation, such as a flock of geese flying in the sky. our team also sends in the goalie, he is the one at the apex of our unstoppable "flying V". as we run up field we screech with vigor at the opposing opponents.

everyone gets scared. they forfeit and grovel in awe to the FLYING V :devil:

skeet 1 ("skeet") and skeet 2 ("skeet skeet") for man up plays. trojan for man down defense...our head coach didnt get the skeet til halfway through the season, but our assistant would crack up every time we'd yell any of the plays...by the way, thats property of bluelax, dont go using it now

[5udey]

im just starting lacrosse so i havnt been on a team yet but in hokcey this year we had a play called the "rusty trombone" where we set up at one of the faceoff dots in our zone. the winger on the wall would bust his *** right off the faceoff and our D would bring the puck around the net and shoot it up off the glass hoping to catch their D off guard and spring our winger. Worked really well

[CHlax]

maryland (our coach played football there), red, blue, those are different plays from the right and left, texas, cornell high and low, then we have the texas cavalieri which is our man up play, some others like xavier and other nonsence

[LVlax13]

Captian midnight- 2 middies, and one attack line up near the crease in a screen, and a middie has the ball on top. The middie with the ball yells go! and takes a shot under the screen players(screen players jump up so the ball goes under their feet)

[Laxmaster2022]
