[A Coach Reggie Production, 2005]
This would be a great offense to run with a young team who are just beginning to play basketball. It is to be used against man-to-man defense, but it can also be used to teach players how to move around. This was taught to me by my elementary school coach when I was in the 6th grade.
Each player is assigned a number. Please look at the left side of the court and then the right:
When 1 and another number are combined, in that order, such as #15, the second number comes up to the foul line. Once with the ball, the player can turn and shoot, or turn and drive, or pass off to someone else.
1st number sets the screen. 2nd number uses the screen. The 1st number needs to find the defender, jump and stop, hands crossed over chest, and STAND STILL. It is the second number’s responsibility to look for the screen, brush shoulders, and go across court ready to catch the ball.
Guards: pass to one side, trade places with the other side.
Posts: opposite side comes up for a pass.
Every time you catch the ball, you look to drive or shoot, then pass.
If 5 shoots the ball, * and 4 go in for the rebound. If 4 shoots the ball, 5 and ° will go in for the rebound. If one of the guards shoots it, 5 and 4 will go in for the rebound. Don’t forget to box out!
