Entries and Special Actions

Explanation:

Below are special actions that can be called out or done on the fly, as well as some entries into Motion Offense.
These special actions can be done in either a 50 or 41 alignment.
Special actions can also be used as entries to the offense.
Special actions or entries should be used to jump start the offense, get certain players involved in the offense to play to their strengths, or to address an offense that is getting stagnant.
Special actions or entries can also be used as ATO sets.
Special actions are not limited to what is below. You can get creative and pull together multiple actions within our offense to use as starters or entries in a possession.
Special actions may be used within the flow of the offense by more advanced teams without being called out in advance.
