The L Stack is a newer type of offensive strategy that has being used sparingly by few teams. It’s very uncommon to see an L Stack for beginner teams and is best suited for experienced teams with a speed advantage. A L Stack is exactly what it sounds like, a stack that is shaped like a L. There are many ways to create a L Stack and this example below is just one way of using the strategy
The formation consists of 2-3 handlers back and then a stack of players that are slightly slanted and isolated from one side of the field. The L Stack gives lane cutters and handlers a lot of space to cut on the field. It’s almost like a vertical stack but with much more emphasis on having the cutting player isolated on one side. The demonstration below shows a typical vertical stack turning into a L stack.
This L Stack above is actually just like a flooded stack. In fact, it is good to treat the L Stack as a form of isolation. Thus, a L Stack is best suited for athletic teams that prefer 1 on 1 match ups with lots of space to cut. This is just a brief look at the L Stack but we’ll be following this up with another look at how the L Stack flows. It’s meant to be a very dynamic stack that allows handlers and lane cutters to fill into each others position.
Key Points:
- Focus on isolating a space of the field for cutting and less on the formation.
- Players not in the lane must be viable options to keep poachers at bay.
- Handlers are encouraged to flow into the play and cut up field.
