The Latest Inside...
High Pick with Screen Option
This 'High Pick' box set play is a difficult quick hitter to defend. It utilizes a pick and roll and a couple of cuts/screens to create kick-out options on the middle drive. There is also a built in option for a player to either cut or set a doublescreen.
1-on-3 Defensive Drill
Teach a single defender to guard against three offensive players in a fast break situation. This situation may not present itself very often, but it does occur. It is good to have been drilled in this situation.
56 Made Competitive Shooting Drill
Have players shoot from a wide range of spots on the basketball floor in a competitive situation.
Slash High-Low
The Slash High-Low zone offense quick hitter is a special play to get a basket for a wing player slashing through the zone.
Shrink
The Shrink baseline out of bounds play is designed to force the zone defense to 'shrink' into the lane thereby opening up an outside shooter.
1-3-1 Rotational Zone Offense
The 1-3-1 Rotational Zone Offense is designed to keep the offensive players moving. Teams will often do a good job of moving the ball against a zone defense, but they do a poor job of moving players. If you have ever seen your team stand around against a zone, this offense may be just what you need.
