Spread out and fill open spots
“Space is always the answer”
Never two players in one spot
The Wolves Way
Five rungs. Eight buckets. One test for every skill on the list.
Every skill on this ladder earns its place the same way: it helps us create space, create an advantage, or play the advantage before the defense recovers. Space. Advantage. Pace. If a skill doesn’t serve one of those three, it isn’t on here.
Coaches set where a player sits on this ladder. It climbs in order, Foundation through College-Level, and the fourth rung carries the Marion 30: nobody plays varsity without all thirty.
New to the game or new to the program. Every great player builds here first.

Spread out and fill open spots
“Space is always the answer”
Never two players in one spot
Move after every pass
“Pass and go”
Never stands after passing
