Summary

This play is great to use for youth and advanced coaches because it is very simple to teach, yet effective. You can also use this as a simple, continuity offense that you will run over and over. The offense starts in a basic 1-3-1 set. It will also provide dribble-drive opportunities.

Personnel

You want Players 4 & 5 to be your post players. You want players 1, 2, & 3 to have good ball handling skills.

Instructions:

1. Player 1 can pass to either wing, Player 2 or 3. If the player is on the block on the ball side, they will cut to the opposite block to clear out the ball side. In this case, Player 4 goes to the opposite block to open up a basket cut for Player 1. It will also create an opportunity for Player 2 to dribble drive, if he/she sees an advantage.

2. Player 1 fakes towards the opposite wing, then brushes their man off Player 5 as they cut to the basket.

3. When Player 1 reaches the block area, Player 5 flashes to the high post. Player 2 can pass to either Player 1 or Player 5. If Player 5 gets the ball in the high post, they can also dump the ball down to Player 1. If Player 1 can get the defensive player on their outside hip, they can get an easy score.

4. If Player 1 is not open, he/she cuts to the opposite wing, and Player 5 replaces them the key. Player 4 cuts to the free throw line.

5. If Player 5 & Player 4 are not open, Player 2 returns the ball to the top of the key. They are back in the original set, and Player 3 can start the offense again by passing to either Player 2 or Player 1. If the ball is passed back to Player 2, Player 5 will have to cut to the opposite block again. If the ball is passed to Player 1, Player 5 stays on the left block.
