Elliot Steinmetz on Motion Offense {Yeshiva}

Inside the Episode

Coach Elliot Steinmetz and the Yeshiva Maccabees have been on quite a run the past couple of years, this week posting their 50th win in a row dating back to 2019. A little over a year ago Coach Steinmetz was gracious enough to give us a chance when he joined us on our first ever recording of the Slappin’ Glass Podcast. This week we re-released this podcast in which we explored all the intricacies of Yeshiva’s high powered Motion Offense. Some highlights include:

  • The Principles of Yeshiva’s Motion Offense: We discuss why Coach Steinmetz prefers “principles” over “rules” in their Motion Offense and why it makes them harder to scout later in the season. 
  • Implementing the Motion Offense: We talk about the ways Coach Steinmetz begins teaching the Motion Offense through 3 v 3 and 4 v 4.
  • The Value of a Post Catch: Yeshiva runs much of their Motion through a High or Low Post Catch, and we dive into why this is such a major part of the offense.
